perhaps the skyline
sparked my mind
more than anything.
jagged teeth, brightly pockmarked,
with tiny, innumerable cavities,
ripped into the night
with no mercy.
forget the twisted iron
veins of Newark railways
and the canal arteries
clogged by tugboats
turning profits,
churning tiny whitecaps from
their blunted prows.
those brilliant parasitic lights
will forever bite the universe
above New York City
and flavor my memories
with a taste of the Big Apple.
