Daily Dose of Liberty

My daily commute is on the F-Train, which trundles between Coney Island and Queens. Close to where I live, it comes out of the ground for two stations as it curves through an industrial part of Brooklyn, across the Gowanus Canal, which is about as beautiful as the name evokes. There, between the buildings and the harbour cranes off in the distance is a smidgen of copper green: the Statue of Liberty. How is that for a boost to an early morning subway trip while slurping coffee out of a paper cup? Yeah, America! Take in my huddled mass!

Um.

To be frank, the coffee is what really does it.
