the third in the "anticipated" batch of NYC haikus circa 2003-2005
too tired
my belly hungry from
the smell of 6th avenue
long day
another manhattan girl
smoking without a care
brooklyn twilight
a dead rat drowned
in a spring puddle
68th street
the stink of acrid piss
perfuming the subway
oh manhattan!
your beauty
like a trick on my tv screen
thursday! 2 pm.!
just another dirty block
wednesday afternoon
in the periwinkle dawn
same gray shirt slung
over my labored back
another heart morning
collapsing at the sight
on uncaring gotham
bored cats
lost, watching the void
like me
old tabby-headed stray
moaning through piss gloom
luquer street
another rain
another gray doom
over times square neon muck
