It may be very obvious and seem unspectacular, but it is absolutely costless to walk across the Manhattan bridge. When you're in a pinch like I was, it helps to remember that. I had been in the east village in the city, however I needed to make a pit stop in downtown BK, before I headed home. I refused to pay the new ridiculous MTA fare twice, so I decided I'll let my two feet take me to Brooklyn. This had been the first time I walked the Manhattan Bridge and I was reminded of Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken." Unlike the glitzy and glamorous, tourist infested Brooklyn bridge, the Manhattan overpass is raw, underpopulated, and longing to be discovered.
I was inspired to write a haiku, paired with pictures of the Manhattan Bridge:
A train rumbles by
Graffiti stained walls throughout
A borough awaits
