Analogous To What I Said About A Great Day In Harlem

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

There is not now

nor will there be

a public park

that is more

deeply imbedded

in my memory

or more important

to my life

 than 

Whitestone Park 

The website refers to this

as the "Frances Lewis Park"

 

The signatory of

the Declaration of Independence

owned the property

more than 

two hundred years ago

but we knew it as 

WHITESTONE PARK

with the 

Whitestone Bridge

linking Long Island

to the continent

in the background

 

A future page

will list ten reasons

why the park

is so important to me

 

But I will list one reason below

solely because

I just lit #142857:

 

I smoked my first cigaret

in Whitestone Park

(September, 1961)

and

I would like 

to refer to

the suspension

over the East River as

"the non-collapsible Whitestone Bridge"
