Round 1: New York won!
By Brett Somers
Written 10-13-2018

Like a ghost in the shadows
New York
People and places and vaporware faces
New York
Experience of magnitude
To have everything in the world
Yet what at all?
Transient position
Always moving 
New York
Cool spots, cool spaces
Beautiful faces 
New York
Astounding architecture
Money and merchandise
A workers paradise
New York
Does one settle?
In New York
Rent is rising
Always compromising
Who’s your friend in 
New York?
Meetups galore
Mr.’s and Mrs. and more
But who’s there anymore?
New York
Does New York have an artist scene?
When the arts are from out “there” but not in-between
New music, new arts?
Tourists are looking for the cover
Buskers better try another
New York
The scene 
The scene
Where is the scene?
West Village you’re my beauty queen
But is jazz your only thing?
Trains oh, I’ve had enough
Loved the no car deal
But life in a subway 
Always waiting
Dim lights, poor air
Rats abating
Are we friends New York?
How I loved you and your sampler of samplings
You grew on me but your shoes were too big
You made me yes, I’m thankful
Carved much of my lid
The anonymity did allow me to find my LGBT me
And to dabble in my artistry
To your big globe shaker
You shook me up and gave me more
A break from California’s shore
Fooled me once
And many times more
But I learned a few things
How not to be a bore
But your energy is surging 
An electrocution 
To my core 
So I did my best
You hustled the rest
And now we must part
I’m hoping Austin’s more art
But let’s you and me be friends
I’ll be back again
For your addictive allure 
That never ends
You’ll be my show stopping tour
And then you’ll finally venmo my pockets
Like the rich grandparent I always hoped for
I’ll forgive you for not embracing me
Like the Hudson embraces its humidity
I must admit you conquered me
But I’ll be back
I’m not finished with you yet
And when I return
It will be my turn to color the sky
With such a sound as you’ve ever seen
Embracing your lonely buildings
And reviving your dream
