Cityscapes (The We)


I am alone.
I am bewildered.
Adrift in an ocean of I's.
Searching for the sea of We's.

An isolated shuffle down city streets;
bus fumes, car horns
boom boxes, sirens.

People, destinations predetermined,
walking, crossing,
downward staring eyes.
Hell-bent on their march to compete.

Later, the night stars,
lost behind the mask of city lights,
bereft, their existence,
lose all meaning.

A fixed-up junky pukes in the dirty darkened end of an alley.
An unfixed hooker desperately searching for her prize;
condoms not necessary tonight.
A sleeping woman,
disheveled,
tosses and turns on her park bench.
A desperate search for sleep.

Meanwhile a black tie tuxedoed rich man slides by,
sequestered in his blacker stretch limousine,
shiny,
clean.
Smiling into his cell phone,
Enjoying a straight ahead stare.
Never ever bothering to look out his window,
At the We.
