So What...?

The neon echoes
Grow grimey
With the traffic
Splash

Distant bells
Summon some
Sidewalk
Sabbath
As the fresh
Leather of
New Doc's
Fall into a
Somnabulant
Syncopation

The camera clicks
And
Canvas cracks

Harpies
Tobacco stained
And armed with
Scratch-offs

Man-bunned
Skinny-jeaned
Satyrs

Wireless
Psychopomps
Meandering
Through the visible
Mist
Of a dead
Persephone

Spandex enveloped
Grease-denizens
With
Newly furnished
Card-flippin'
Fixtures

All charging
All are cheering
All
Zeitgeists
Gliding chuckles
Dirty
Molecules

That crooked
Corner
Smile
That carves
The Stark
Beaches
Of past
Decades
Draped in
Delicate
Anachronism

The camera cracks
And
The canvas clicks

It's quiet here
Ohhhhh
It's better here
Standing on a
River rock
Damned
Outside
Of
Time
