CROSSING WHITEHALL STREET

Swing your left arm forward

Lift your right leg so your heel

Hovers just above the curb

Let the sun glint on your glasses 

As you look at a point

Just beyond where your foot 

Would come down if you weren't 

Fated to spend eternity 

Almost walking out of a tax photo

Of 27 Whitehall Street as it was 

Late on a fall day in 1939.
