newark

excerpt from dave pulls out all the stops

newark; graffiti: live for today.
river runs slow,
     towers touch sky.
bell on train, ringing. people:
getting off and getting on.

newark. a childish baby-scream.
river of the world, small sidestream.
garbage sodden by downpour.
rained today, rained hard.
enterprise: rent a car. rent a life.
man in seat, reading; man
in seat, writing. bookmark -
stop -
rest eyes a bit. rest eyes a bit in

newark; conrail. rained
hard today. leaving; train
whistle blow. goodbyes are
so difficult.
