belonging…
across the Brooklyn
Bridge, deep
within the tunnels,
out on the
park, shooting
upwards in
a gold-plated
elevator, in the
shadow of man-
made structures,
and on and on –
strangers
belonging
to each other

I found that I was smiling while looking at this photo, “Y”. The smiles you captured, here, must have been contagious. “strangers belonging to each other”; I guess you are right.
this was a great capture. i was taking a group shot of a young Jamaican dance troupe, and this older man walked by and just joined in. the dancers proceeded to teach him how to “strike a pose.”
