Chillin' in the Bronx

Bronx youths escape the summer heat by any means possible in New York City's only freshwater river.

Take a break
From the summer sun:
The riverbank in the shade,
is a welcome respite for everyone.

The water is clear and cool
but this ain't no swimming pool.
If you must take a dip,
bear in mind this simple tip:

The water is toxic no longer,
but bacteria of all kinds still linger.
I don't wish to sound mean and dour,
but if you touch that water, take a shower!
