New York's Life Poem by Romeo Della Valle
New York's Life
To view a bulletin board
You must sit on the floor,
With your back against the wall
Opposite of a mural...
Of mismatched articles
And read with the intent
Of taking note of things
Until you lose track
Of where 'such and such' was tacked...
You begin to ponder
At last month's artifacts,
The choice of apartments,
The schedule of events...
Maybe plan a trip
Somewhere you could have been,
If this weren't your destination
Until you begin to feel
Socially provoked,
Or guilt ridden because
You haven't said your prayers..
And the animals weren't saved
And you missed all the plays
There were all in the same day...
You could not get out of bed...
You sneer with contempt
For the personal services
Birth control-depression
Weight loss-meditation
Hung in cubist formation...
With tutors.
And concepts, too far away
To remember...
You might make a list
Of used junk for sale,
Old books-an old computer
Mentally hire a photographer
Or make someone an offer....
Write up a resume
That would save your
Compensating efforts,
For what you really lack
And that is the angle
To obtain your first mark...

This great itinerary pushed me to come there and see you soon. Life full of hopes that gives the strength to survive?
It can be a complicated city to anyone who is not well acquainted with its settings, one has to be very familiar with the landmarks of the Big Apple to know his way around. I have been there once, at least I have some idea of what you are saying. A nice piece!
