New York

What can be said That hasn't been said? This: The newness of experience Of every sentient searcher In their inability, their complete futility, Of "staying in" With the magma buzz beyond the window, The heat and expanse Beckoning the poet's aching heart In the coldest month of Manhattan. February in New York. All desires derivative of a single step. We arrive and splay outward the reckless fit of our passion As we love and learn New York.
