Empty Streets

Empty streets, I dreamt about them; and a payphone - did it ring? Could it be stranger things repurposed in the preponderant dark? After 2000 was the hustle and bustle of mortar and dust; were there butterflies? I dreamt this dream after that, but presently the streets are clear except for pigeons and the law. No pretzel carts. Broadway busted. But the phone, did it ring; what does it mean? I was alone. I don’t think payphones existed on the payroll anymore. There’s a phone in a glass box. I want to know what it means. I thought I knew but it seems there may be more: more empty streets; more to my dream. 4/1/2020
