New York: Beauty and Blight
<p>Hot air hangs above tracks covered in pools of rusty water<br />
Silver streak screams by like a banshee,<br />
the wind whipping my hair.</p>
<p>Doors open with a whissshhh<br />
People push forward to find a spot.</p>
<p>Climbing steps from the dark womb of the city below<br />
to bright light above — I am born into New York.</p>
<p>Amanda Knox on a giant billboard asks: monster or victim?<br />
People pay no attention and zig-zag<br />
like rabbits on sidewalks and city streets.</p>
