Winedrunk Haikus Part 4: NYC 2003-2005

schlepping the midtown
sidewalk
where's my dignity

e 40th street
the cranking subway girder
a warm blanket

swarming june
the bobbing heads
in bryant park - a sea

so cold in the sun
midday
where's the east river?

all moody
new york skies
like sad, aged men

ah, east river
where's your heart?
wednesday afternoon

chrysler building
like a lonely friend
across the plate glass

sopping monday
a warm turkey sandwich
daydreams of frank o'hara

ancient brooklyn
manhattan
glows behind you

sunday morning
court street
there's whitman's ghost

rain on my scalp
autumn rolling its
soft tongue
