Street Music

Can poetry inspire you to a new perspective?

This city:

the

always

noise

grinding
up from the
subways
under
ground
slamming from bus tires
and taxi horns and engines
of cars and trucks in all

vocabularies

of

clash
flash
screeching
hot metal language
combinations

as planes
overhead

roar

an
orchestra
of rolling drums
and battle blasts
assaulting

my ears

with
the
always

noise of
this city:

street music.
