Lost on the subway
in the cavity hearted city
listening to it's story
marveling at the shallow richness
It's the story of people
both amazing and mundane
the story of architecture
sacredly profane
It's drug addiction and religion
languages and foods
family business legal suppertime
refrigerator beatbox crucifix
broken hearts in need of surgery
Elevators in need of feet
turpentine drunk
hard like street vendor banana chips
gorged with sugar, salts and meats
palates bike-Mormons motorhome
vandals street fight broken glass
palm trees as old as Rockefeller
people as ugly as Kissinger
