where the sidewalk is divided

new york,
what are you trying to say?

i understand the humor in the lanes.
to a point.
tourists are known to meander,
look up and take photographs -
and all quite slowly.

stuck behind a collection of japanese tourists,
or an italian family or a gorgeous brazilian couple,
maybe even a small french family with young children,
i myself have been annoyed.

i doubt if i could any longer qualify as a tourist.
day tripper would be a more accurate term.
and just so you know,
new york,
some of your ilk get in my way.
