French press coffee,
Moving stairs
descend to subways,
Asian girl escaping;
Little sweater dogs in threes,
Picasso,
Mighty willow trees;
The Brooklyn Bridge,

Hotel amenities,
A hip-hop show,
Veselka cabbage rolls;
Designer bags I can’t afford,
A patch of sunlight
outside Russ & Daughters 1914;
Sikh stares from a taxi
idling alongside Central Park;

The shimmering uncertain dark.
