Strength of Hello Kitty
Painting pictures as I focus my eyes out the window
Of the bus that smelled of street hot dogs
That we all had to try
Mustard was the only condiment
And I wanted “the red stuff”
As I called ketchup
But not on these streets
The streets of New York City.
The city that never sleeps
The city where in Times Square it seems as though night
Never actually comes.
So bright all the time
Eyes piercing as we rounded the corner
I stood in the middle of the isle
The bus was so big
My little sister hot on my heels
Mouths opened
Dropped to the floor like our puppy when she’s tired
There it was
The bright lights of a place
We had only dreamed of.
