OCTOBER IN NEW YORK

it is even possible

that this month


the country boy

from the east county

will find himself


in the middle of

Times Square:


the smell of dogs and pizza

arousing the dregs of his desire.


the taxi horns honking

their urban aria.


the neon pulsing

against his beating heart.


the remaining scrapers 

kissing the sky

in their best Hendrix impressions.


the anxious crowds

navigating around him in the streets


as he holds his reverent 

and stunned silence 


like a spirtual offering

in the palm of an otherwise


empty 

hand.
