Fourth Floor, Dawn, Up All Night Writing Letters

Jun 08, 2005 21:45

Pigeons shake their wings on the copper church roof
out my window across the street, a bird perched on the cross
surveys the city's blue-grey clouds. Larry Rivers
'll come at 10 AM and take my picture. I'm taking
your picture, pigeons. I'm writing you down, Dawn.
I'm immortalizing your exhaust, Avenue A bus.
O Thought, now you'll have to think the same thing forever!
-Allen Ginsberg

It's things like this that make me miss the city.
