rectangle eyes stare: their dilatedfluorescent pupils stacked
like shelves; black lines like skinny
arms stretch from pole to pole, shuttling
electricity, crisscrossing woolly
smog & cotton clouds. around the corner,
purple petals surprise like new hair
color on an old friend; palm tree
silhouettes wave to you or
the sun, you are not sure. the duplicity
of the city serenades. you want
to leave, dip toes
in silt or snow or sand away
from girders like skeletons, ushering
rent hikes, welcoming money
to high-rise, high-end condos, swilling
these streets dry. but you
don’t leave, swirling in circles
like a lone hawk, clinging
to verdant hills & chubby squirrels.
mesmerized, glued to neon signs,
city of angles has you hypnotized.
