HOBOKEN MONDDAY

With the path tube, a subway special
from the hectic life of the Island Manhattan
under the Hudson river to the terminal
Lackawanna station.

En amazingly big waiting room, and sparklin clean,
no beggars, no hobos, no homeless, no dealers.
colored glass all over the high ceiling,
meandering, an real art nouveau building.

Hoboken- to live in the countryside
Little red brick houses, planes all over
green is the color it seems to cover
everything within sight and to hide.

Three old man on a bench sitting there
smoking , talking,looking, one is calling:
Hi, young man with the nice red hair,
where are you going, how are you doing?
I´m so surprised, I forgot to answer.

A dog runs by my side for quite a while.
Suddenly he crosses the street.
A car stops. Waits, until the dog has made it.
No yelling, no swearing, just a big smile.

In a cute little sports store I satisfy
a long-felt want I buy
a baseball cap and a baseball bat and
a baseball mit that exactly fits my hand.

The baseball cap I put on my head,
and proudly walk down the street,
as a stranger came over to me and said
Hi , man, I´m happy to meet
a fan of the New York Yankees!
