Bridge to Babylon

                                                                             



    The Verrazano Bridge linking Staten Island to Brooklyn will soon become my bridge back home. At the foot of it, on the Brooklyn side, lie both my childhood and my future. As I travel back in time across it's span over turbulent waters,  I will walk forward , side by side, with my friend, my lover, my partner, Betty.

Betty, I can't wait to come home.

My mother said I can't go steady!

She hasn't tried my sauce.

Betty said...

Ahhhhh, the old sauce trick. Why didn't you say so in the first place?

Billy said...

Well, if that doesn't work, ask your Dad.

Betty said...

I did. He said, "Ask your mother."

Billy said...

Your father is a smart man.
