Trying to Cross

I'm a Bogota pedestrian


A piece of crap to boot


Your car of truck can flatten me


No one gives a toot.


Try to cross a wide Bogota street


It's as is said in Scripture


You'll find it easier to go through the eye


Of any chrome needle, Sweet.

Try crossing a New York street. Never forget that experience in the past. Won't even visit NY no more and loved it when I was younger. Old age does take away some of our treats.

I stopped at the red light because I see a metaphor here Trying to Cross. I am on my horse, so I just pulled the reins back and gently said "Whoa, Bogota earns respect, the pedestrians may one day be authors." And, as you have said,
"It's as is said
in Scripture
You'll find it easier to go through the eye
Of any chrome needle, Sweet."

It is just about the same in finding a needle in the haystack, where I am headed with my mare where I find gentler times. Be careful on those Bogota streets, Randall...Blessed Be.

Love,
Sage

Randall,
When I lived in Japan it was about the same. I always tried to cross at a corner when a big truck was turning and used to to run interfernce for me.

You shouldn't smoke with Rufuz's Ed or you will be on the other side whenever you look across the street.
Oh brother, that's heavy!

Bogata...I have my best friend down there now visiting his good bud Emilio. Emilio has this awesome restaraunt there. I'll need to get you the name. Happiness is a horse when crossing the street in Bogata. Isn't it The Flower carnival time?
Love,
Susan
