Infamous Island

The view from Queens

Photo taken by the author

Beautiful sunset against the skyline
and my friend filmed it on his phone
as the girls pouted and posed for selfies 

Look, that plane is landing
and one touched down on
LaGuardia, runway two two

I pointed and asked, if she knew
what island that one was
just past where the plane had been

Her look told me, No, 
I should have left it
instead I spoiled the mood

I said, That's Rikers
