street

  • I See the Storms

    I saw a tiny tornado
    On the street
    Just at my feet
    A hundred thousand people
    Who would be witnesses
    Saw nothing

    Life rarely happens below knee level
    In the New York City horizon
    Too many synapses shouting
    Too many body parts
    Anxious and lustful forensics

    Be it granted, a micro twister may not
    To others be the experience of glory
    That it is to me
    It raises many questions
    It invokes the entire universe into a day
    That otherwise has much to bear

    I almost didn’t notice too
    The girl weeping right in front of me
    Another silent tsunami
    Lost to eyes on the open sea
