The Urban Levitators
A limerick and that's all.
Enjoy!
After a snowstorm two weeks ago, New Yorkers continued to negotiate and struggle with towering piles of icy covered gray snow and growing accumulations of trash. Many of these pileups exceeded 5-6 feet in height, and were blocking intersections, pedestrian walkways & building entrances. Frustrated residents with imagination were observed trying a variety of unconventional transportation methods. One of the most peculiar but effective appeared to be physical levitation (see photos).
In the above photo, an inspired pedestrian discarded his forearm crutch and levitated up, over & across a busy ice-blocked downtown intersection. It was estimated that he was gliding smoothly for 42 seconds and was floating at a height of 16 feet above street level.
