New York wraps itself
in pea coats.
The trees match the colors
of the taxis,
and the ramblings
of cell phones
i want to travel with you like light, all over
wine and gondoliers, round pink-faced foreigners, street lamps
my hand in your black hair
and because we’re often laughing, we laugh
at how precious the buildings are in this drunken city
like piles of leaves we jump inside them
the stars are dust on gray carpet
unvacuumed
and a man with a newspaper beret
makes a wish on a rat
