Down E. 42nd St.

naked manikins

dirty handprints on the window

an oozing bum

hand on crotch mind in gutter

*****

porky pig like man

on his porky throne

ruddy faced and indignant

sitting high above the rest

getting his wingtips polished

*****

cigarette smoking bitch

too early in the morning

smokestack mouth

a blind 'flick'

a butt on my shoe

a curse to her being

*****

don't shove that

shit in my face

I'll take it if I want it

but never will

*****

a river of beige and brown

flows so awkward

my vessel unstable

but will make haste

to nowhere in particular
