Breathe
A suffocating air
The city is still
I want to breathe
I want to breathe.
The city is still
I want to breathe
I want to breathe.

same streets
mid victorian london saw dickens
at night pacing the streets, the same streets
I used to walk in the dark
and lonely moments I couldn’t sleep

Finally Free From A Family Who No Longer Loves Me
Angela woke up,
saw the sun rising over
the Los Angeles
city scape and made herself
let out a gigantic smile.

If You Want My Opinion
Look, Penelope. If you want my
opinion, I would say moving
yourself to the city of
Los Angeles is more
better than staying
here and letting
Dad give you
only
grief.

and staring at the Manhattan

‘thinking of you ..’
liked adrian henri, if only because
his name
ended in an i, rather than a (wh) y,
I don’t know

Come and See
I’m the dimly lit alley,
the grit born of the sidewalks and
asphalt, an uneasy feeling, a city breeze
that whispers something bad is going
to happen
Come and see…

asphalt, an uneasy feeling, a city breeze
that whispers something bad is going
to happen
Come and see…

the old city
the old
city needs
to be
reincorporated,
the skeleton
needs
new flesh,
opened eyes
out of
curiosity,
her lover's
life
breathed back
into her,
a crowd
of people
wandering
inside
of her,
debating,
discussing
how they
can continue
to keep
her alive
from
now on.
