sunset park
little cops
drive their little cop vans
through sunset park
in the morning
collecting the men
standing around in small circles
doing nothing
but being latino and drinking beer
they collect the men
one by one
a conversation then the cuffs
then the little cops
drive their little cop vans
out of sunset park
without so much as stopping
to look at manhattan
in the distance
glittering like a jewel
in all that splendid summer sun.
--John Grochalski
