#1674 - escape from New York

escape from New York

jetlag series

 

the city not sleeping

and neither are we

 

lie still

like a park

but the traffic runs through

 

fact advertised

 

I think of the cliché brought us from Newark

‘motherfucker’ to a pedestrian dare

he opened the door for it too

 

the place has self-deprecation issues

 

light out

where the day is now

 

make a moon

switch off

 

home is where the day is

 

blinds still drawn

 

make our own lights

memory

 

then ask if we are here

 

if the empire has a heart

 

I see two on the street

of the elect

not sleeping

 

sleepwalking rather

till it’s time

 

for my breakfast then

two apples – neither big

 

they’re saving up daylight here
