the leaves underfoot
i'm here to hear
while i walk in battery park
the river sways, partial to the quay
where moss covered rocks
and gum wrappers lay
and i liken it to my brain,
how it moves between
garbage and rot,
things that have stuck to me
through nature
and time.
i entertain the idea
of jumping into the hudson
shake my head. that'll have to wait for another day
but why?
that i cannot answer.
why the delay?
as i sit and stay and do nothing
hoping it'll get better
it never does
i shake my head
and turn
and walk away
