An old man with a package is walking up the hill. (This is the hill that makes Brooklyn Heights heights.) A perhaps-young woman with her foot in a cast is walking down the hill toward the overpass that connects two parts of the Jehovah's Witnesses buildings. In the background: the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge.

In "the big room"
Walls and fences
Windows and bridges
Protect enclose surround
Whoever walks through Brooklyn town.
Brooklyn town is a second womb.

"How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball...The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can."
Babe Ruth

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants, too.

Maybe because of all the mob movies I've seen set in Brooklyn everyone in a Brooklyn photo looks like a contract killer. The man with flowers looks like he is carrying a gun in the flowers. The cast on the woman's foot looks like it can be turned into a throwing star.

Trooper York म्हणाले...

What you are looking at is a Chinese woman going downhill who is showing her ass, exactly what happened in the Yankee game last night.
