MERMAID PARADE, CONEY ISLAND 2009

We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams.
World-losers and world-forsakers,
Upon whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever, it seems.
-Arthur EdwardShaugnessy

What a magical day.
