at night 79th street was a Miles Davis
with sound coming out
of window cracks and building bricks
and the melody forcing out
from way inside
i know because i saw it
heard it
coming home late on the bus
from rainbow beach
79th street was like a germ easing through a bandage
remorseless will
inevitable trying
all night long
shouting like the southland!
all night long
drinking booze straight!
shark skin suit
paper bag can
little green fedoras
legs of ladies sliding through
heat!
into caddy
into lounge
high legs of ladies
sliding through
high heat
79th street
all night long
