It began with a French
kiss
on Lowery Street Station
kindling infatuation
that burned into
love
without likely end
Dancing in Greenwich Village
the Amato Opera
strolling East
River Walk
sealed the
relationship
into a lifetime
bond
Raising a family
with three boys
and a girl
dogs, rabbits, squirrels,
fish, birds, chipmunks
life worth living
(May 26, 2017.
Ginger and I were returning from dancing at Gildea’s in Sunnyside on our second
date in 1954. We were on the Lowery Street Station platform en route to Manhattan,
to Cornell’s student nursing school residence at New York Hospital.)
A
suggestion: try my novel, THE
TRUCKERS, on Kindle
