Fifty Ninth Street Bridge Song

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feelin’ groovy

Hello, lamppost, what’cha knowin’?
I’ve come to watch your flowers growin’
Ain’t’cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in doo-doo, feelin’ groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feelin’ groovy

I got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I’m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life, I love you
All is groovy

Simon and Garfunkel, 1967

I assume these two New York City Officers were there to keep an eye on the demonstration. However, the demonstration was orderly and very well behaved, so they didn’t have much to do other than watch.

I asked them if I could take their photograph, and they very kindly told me that I could. So, I took the picture and showed it to them on the rear screen. They seemed to be satisfied with it.

I liked the difference in their expressions. The officer on the left is smiling, while the one on the right seems to be trying to appear a little tougher.
