Fall In The City Poem by MARINA GIPPS

Fall In The City

Rating: 3.9


Black cats
jet across a one way street.
Just my uninvited luck.

I hide, stooped to conquer,
the odd foes of sad jazz music
that sends its love everyday.

Why
is there so much noise here

here on this planet,
on this street where I am

Waiting in a million
for you to pay my cab fare,
this miserable ride after shopping

for nothing in early December-
just before the suicides
fall like dead leaves.
