Eruptions of pigeons,
from the loose teeth of
buildings, hacking whirlwind
romances sharing the thought
of flight.
Leveling with streets shrinking
and enlarging life...outflanked
by urbane sowers.
Shifty to the seed in rootless
takes, spur of the moment,
sparring impressions.
The strength of strangers driving
home the impossible arbitrariness
of pass, and be passed.
The canker of count in loss--rage
to the wall that's hole, from where
they know one another not.
Up ahead, The Empire State Building
stands like a towering depersonalized
roll call.
