Newyorkese

And the pigeonshit. And a loose feather,
rain-pasted to the concrete…before the
bookstore opens at 11. How do you like that!
Okay, I'll write my own books. I'm sure the
guy sleeping in the next doorway won't mind…
rough night, huh? And so I'm sitting on a dry 
step that is part of the world's most famous 
skyline…and the drizzle in the puddled light… 
and a busload of clear, wax passengers…and
the gong from a nearby church releasing an
entirely different pigeon, ballet-like, into
the air…
