Out of the granite and into the green

Haikus for exiting (previous NYC posts remixed)

speak backdrop glass
someplace else running
half smile on my face
an oozing bum
somewhere in the recesses
anachronistic against the backdrop
dizzy and falling
visage in the city of 8 million
his presence remains
television set climate
in and out at every shaky stop
switched off and dormant
a river of beige and brown
creates a shimmering sound
hordes of euro trash
the wee hours of a tuesday night
steaming breezes of sweaty men
technology strapped to her expression
this dude's a total asshole
emerge lost and disoriented
upon the crusty floor
you in turn slap or kick
a fake, a fraudulent
friendly Californian
thinking or using
lost or confused
zombie like commute
dark quiet street
very beaten down
musky air of morning
all human, all warm, all shapes
I feel stealthy
can exist without falling
millions of people shitting
pressure every now and then
walk right by me, as I do them
my hand hurts and my knuckles are bloody
silly vocals to get in the way
bounce around up there, echoing
another 30 minute rumble
crumbling cityscape
unlike the unmagic magician
my stop approaches
sound gathering night
queens half asleep
caught a glimpse of myself
nobody there to say goodbye to
this city's fascination
eat like a human being
background image
days slipping
frozen pillars of salt
break free and walk
life a living hell
a man with baggage
ochre colored accent
screaming at some
unknown party
responsible for people
walked down the street
this is just the beginning
or end
westward
