dressed in holiday style

soon
 the
morning skies
 will be lighter 
when i leave for the office

 with the longer commute
 i leave a few minutes earlier
 i suspect
 i won't see 
the change
 til 
i get downtown

 right now
 the city
 is 
getting its holiday on

 the tree
 in
 rockefeller center
 was
 lit 
wednesday night

 the tree
 in
 lincoln center
 here 
on the upper westside
 was 
lit 
monday night

 many 
of
 the
 businesses and hotels
 along
 upper broadway
 are
wrapping 
the
trees 
along their streets
with lights

 dressing their facades
 as well

 in a way
 my morning walk
 is
 already
 brighter
 lighter
