I grew up in NYC; there are statues
everywhere of old timey white guys
in their natty 19th c. tails; I never gave
those guys a second thought; more
interesting are the frequent goddesses
shown leading the way for the blind
*******; beauties draped in flowing
togas wielding sword & instruments
for acquiring arcane cosmic knowledge;
sometimes these women have wings;
Growing up in NYC seeing all these
goddesses in every park through the city
I assumed the guys in their bronze suits
were just waiting for the crosstown bus
