Nice to get reacquainted with this sweetie from back then
And the rest of the group 
As we shared chicken soup
Promised to meet same place in a year's time again...

hi-lo buildings, pumped-up torch
of New York Harbor,
ripples of copious ships,

And still paced up and down.
watching the years gone like river water
He has already had scales on his body
While his hands and feet retrograded into fins
And downstream
With which he struck violently and
