My Birthplace

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Three-quarters of a century ago,
I was born at Hunt's Point Hospital
in the only borough
of New York City
that is part of
continental 
United States
 
Quite recently I read 
a lengthy article
entitled
 and learned that 
Hunt's Point is presently
the world's largest
food distribution center
 
Much more than two centuries ago,
the borough figured significantly
in the Revolutionary War 
and the caption below
the South Bronx map
is pure truth 
 

"The subways created the modern Bronx
and the highways almost destroyed it"
