in the garden


earth day 
was this past friday

a day that was incredibly 
overcast
 dreary 
rainy

i was uptown
decided
 a walk was in order

a friend told me about 
the community garden
in 
the middle of the block
between
 90-91 streets
between
 amsterdam and columbus


hundreds 
maybe 
thousands
 of 
tulip bulbs planted

blooming now

so many varieties
so many colors



too bad
 the rain 
knocked 
a lot of petals off

i wasnt the only one taking photos
