New: Elevator Buildings!
As we all know, living in New York is especially expensive. Even in troubled times, space is extraordinarily pricey on the Upper East Side. For example, in August 2011 the average price per square foot on the Upper East Side was $1,358 (*). Yes, that's per square foot . It's clear why landowners are trying to scrape up any loose square feet where ever they can. At first, this respected building decided to eliminate elevators, since each one can take up to 100 Square Feet p er floor .* That plan had legal drawbacks, so the building decided to replace the entire lobby with an elevator! No more stuffed chairs to vacuum, no more marble tile to polish, no more annoying plants to water or bad original art. No more brass! (Well, some brass on the elevator.) No more excessive doormen. The only staff needed is one single doorman-elevator operator at a time. Sure those renting relics from before conversion might be put out, but look how much lower the fees will be for ...

Sunflower Tangled in Stalks of Blue
It might be September or even November, Who cares if it’s April or May? There’s a late summer blue and a sunflower too, Who cares what the calendars say! French Conservancy Garden, September Beauatiful, blue salvia with a canna hiding in the back, from Christian F. AND, from Vera A. in Denver, And what do you think, she's forgotten the pink, So smitten with blues and yellow. But don't you agree, Mr. Pink's worth a see? He too is a colorful fellow. !!

Where are my Plans!
I have no plans! I need my plans! I cannot budge about without a trace! Have I no leave-town muscles and pack-up bones? Why do I lie stitched to the floor, Praying to a stained, cat-haired carpet, Old, frayed, taped to the edges of life? Where is the lancing boiling aching love, What happened to that tried and true, That weather torn, that muddled scraggly lock of life? What will I leave behind me? A dull stain on a desiccated stone, Dead with dry leaves, veined and laced by hardened winter. Where are you morning psychedelic dew? Where are you green striped, bronzed and swollen sun? Who is left to paint the swirling aching swaying starlight ? I saw the moon once through a backyard telescope. No bits, no bytes, no megapixels. Moonlight cleaned the stars away that night.
