Better Than Real Because It's Not.

the throngs will change it
It won’t be so nice, quiet, and intimate for long

fly, fly, away
For some it is a time of flight

or as it is known around here, the bridge without a toll
The Queensboro (Ed Koch) Bridge

off to harlem now
The patients will miss this place

the black swan
What’s this?

takes a dive
An omen?

and disappears
Gone under

welfare island hospital
You can see the original sign bearing the former name of the island

so long
Good bye Goldwater Hospital, and the peace and quiet of Roosevelt Island.

and many many more will be commuting
Many more will soon.
