only in NYC… out the window
of the Carlton Arms Hotel
well maybe
possible
somewhere else in the world
can a person be awoke
@ 3 in the morning
by a sea of taxi cabs
jammed together ~ beeping
their horns
’cause of some problem
up the street…. people talkin’
loudly as they abandon cabs
who due to impatience
would rather walk than sit
can’t sleep now…
but that ain’t nuttin new
gotta head back to Boston
one thing is for sure
the sounds
emblematic of NYC
charm and character
will be replaying
again & again
in my head ~
