October 2 Tuesday

Raining in New Jersey Sunday

Slight afternoon

This too

Walking on or about roads

And sidewalks

Rusted like pavement

Caught in a moment of green against grey

This too

My footsteps sound like rain

On this city

This too

You should grasp this city

She is much more than those living souls

And reckless dreamers

She is something like steel, something like concrete

This too

And buildings that echo

Eternal

This too

And we go on folding our hands together

That way

You know, when people fear

When you hear quiet

And when you dream this too.
