Metropolitan Sunrise
A gilt and rusted nest of steel, stone and brick and concrete, haunted by its own electric soul, awaits the tangled light of early spring. Throughout the restless night, heavy boats have cut across the bay leaving scars upon its cold and gray and gleaming skin. But every sin committed on the landscape by this sprawling city suddenly appears to be forgiven with the rising of...

Times Square Intersects the television screen. At the crescendo of the scene A starlet sings a melancholy song, Hiding in a costume that disguises The method she employs To hypnotize the audience. Copyright © 1997-2018 by Benjamin Toney. All rights reserved....

Metropolitan Inferno
Rusty rotten dirty domes, Wound the Heaven’s azure heart, Chimneys’ souls rise to part, Black giants’ filthy foams. Metal hooting centipedes, Pierce the hills’ rocky chest. Shaking the jungles’ breast, Roaring saw on trunk feeds. Life’s teasing irony, Knife to cut on the barks Save trees in the parks! Man’s mocking destiny......
