Annual Weekend
Only once a year
I can see he cares
We walk around New York
While grandma cooks in her wok
He makes promises each time
---Maybe a smartphone on a new line
We go out to morning tea---
then shopping, mostly just seeing
We go visit cousins: Tommy and Mary
then nieces: Angel and Annie
Everywhere we go we get stuffed with food
even if you are too full from lunch to be in the mood
Experience the hustle of the city
Everyone smoking or seeming busy
Cigarette smoke fills the air, heavy smoke
Feeling like I'm going to choke
We had fun,
eating our share of roast pork bun,
Though I, I stuck out like a sore thumb,
Like a "rich" Jersey kid who's kinda dumb
