New Amsterdam
falling from the sky
i scraped my knees on concrete
fingernails darkened by metropolitan deceit
the gale of inner city enterprise
fueling trader commodities
and welcoming queues that form
their redundant mantra
echoing a delayed expedition
the signal beginning our attrition
elsewhere,
coal smeared spartans clash
their frosted resolve melting slowly
inside a timeless arena
closer to home,
oppressed vegetation sprouts
cultured venues calling nature's miracle
a tertiary attraction
despite the pain of this vision
we develop a certain rheumatism
numbing perception and the id
our carnal revelry guided by mohammad
