Return to South Ferry

Dear Diary:

I never thought the words
“South Ferry”
would so move me. But when I saw them,
lit up overhead on the subway
time board, first time since Sandy,
I smiled. Rector Street had cried out
for rectification.
Now, the One train was once again
back on track. Still much to be done,
but what joy in seeing
restoration, when so much
had and can go wrong.
