The Meter Is Running... Poem by L. K. Thayer

The Meter Is Running...



as the hip
get hipper
and the lines
grow deeper
time creeps
closer
breathing
down my neck

I haven't seen
Jack
since he fetched
a pale of water
and I keep
getting thirsty
for someone
to get me

and the clock
keeps tick talking
and will somebody
please
call me a taxi
because
I swear

New York
isn't
even really
New York
anymore...
