Urban Reflections

From my apartment
    on the Lower East Side 
of New York City
   I hear cars rushing by
and realize that I am living in
   a most urban area
After dining with friends
I walk home alone to view 
some sexually charged TV
   I continue to exsist in this
"Baghdad on tne Hudson" 
as O.Henry named it
My lights are working as I sit down
   to write verse
Things could be worse things could be 
  much worse
In  distant lands "ignorant armies"
    battle and die
This is the 12th anniversary 
   of 9/11
Memorial Candles won't bring back
friends, family members, or lovers
    back to this verdant earth
But our pain is eased now 
   Somewhat...........
