Excuse me. Are you OK here, all alone? I'm fine. I'm just waiting for my mom and my sister. She's upstairs, in that building over there. Do you mind if I sit down till your mom comes down? Sure. - Yeah? - Yeah.

That's a beautiful poem. - You really liked it? - Yeah, I really do. I think it's beautiful. "Water Falls". Thank you. It doesn't rhyme exactly. No, but the first two lines do, in a nice way. And some nice little internal rhymes too, I think. Internal rhymes.

Look, Lou Costello has got to be the most famous person from Paterson. Yeah, probably, yeah. I mean, he... he's got that statue and he's got his own park. Right, I mean, Alexander Hamilton has a statue, others got statues but not their own park! Hell, even Fetty Wap don't have no park.

- What? - Did you ever hear of the old Italian poet called Pet-ra-rch, is that it? Mm, Petrarch. He perfected the sonnet. Um, I read online that one of his early books of poems was called The Secret Book. Just like yours. I didn't know that. You read that? You just happened upon it online? And also that he wrote all his love poems to a beautiful girl called, ta-dah, Laura. That's true. So you have many things in common with other great and famous poets, you see.
