Take a walk ...

Blog65:

Walk …
Walk a block …

Walk a few more blocks …

Where might this road take me?

What's out there to uncover?

Walk a bit more …
And marvel at structures ahead!

 

Brownstone buildings in front of me

Sky-reaching buildings behind me

Limestone, sandstone, cobblestone facades to the left and right of me

Tall and grand
Old and new
Handcrafted, engineered, sculpted, decked!

 Pick up the pace now!

Tread on dusty walkways

Step … Stroll … Stride …

Caution light warns
Come to a halt
Wait … watch …
Now move with the small gathered crowd
Pick up the pace again!
Move … on foot still …amble faster now …

Where have I arrived?

Madison Square Garden, NYC
Limousines parade …
Guards at the ready-
“After you, Madam!” or “Wait please, Sir!”
Shutterbugs angle cameras
“Click … click … and more clicks.”
Celebrities sashay … swagger … prance …
Enough spotlights!

Pick up the steps faster ...
Speed up a bit now!
27^th Street … 30^th … 34^th Street …

There it is at last …

The red Star marker …

I have arrived at my STOP!

Hmnnn … to which door?
Revolving door … Push or Pull door …
Take a pick and get lost indoors

Of MACY’s stores!

 Perfumery fragrances whiff the nose

Treated leather bags scream their waft

Splashes of hues abound and dance …

Flushes of lights explode and burst …

Sparkles of dress jewels scintillate the eyes!

Head up to the upper floors ...
What’s up there?
Ride the escalators and stretch the surprise

Whoa!  Shoe garden!
A world of its own …
A parade of creations for the sole …

Let shopping begin!
