I Think Of This Bridge Every Day

________________________________________________________________________________________________



 
It has to do with
growing up
one-tenth of a mile
from
the last exit
before The Bronx
+
spending 300 quality
Sundays
in that borough
+
smoking my first cigarette
in Whitestone Park
where I was the 
Barefoot Handball Champion
of 1961

  1. I remember that one of your "Quality Sundays" in the Bronx
    was at the Circle Theatre in Parkchester
    where you first saw THE GODFATHER
    centuries ago but the theatre is still
    alive and well:
