two of me in hand
is worth less than one of me
on your balcony

---

a finch in a pinch
giving a one eyed staredown
happy to just be

---

asphalt and concrete
a nowhere flickers with life
sparrow's arrival

---

hey little fellow
having a break from seeking union
with the sunlit window.

---

what we see here folks
is flying vermin, (but cute)
lice everywhere

Wheels within wheels
Mechanical, political
The world keeps turning.

---

a man of the world
one that he made for himself
swapping steel for sun

---

sex organ of the
technological machine,
man becomes subsumed.

---

how very beautiful
that behind that mechanical feat,
an ordinary man

---

steel and man entwine
meshing together at last
encircling them both

Deep hues of nightfall
Warm, alone, I own it all
At least until dawn

---

this perfect urban
inviolate, peopleless,
non-human heaven

---

lights are so pretty
I compose a little poem
not very witty

---

Long hot summer night
I have found a reason to live,
walking the city.

---

lights stay on for the
cold steel heart of the city
humanity gone
