Tattooed City

Tattooed City

Stop stuffing me with your gothic truths-

Your advertised white credit card trimmed lies-

Hung in the windows on Madison Ave.-

Sprang from your heels spiked – pissed on pavement-

So cool you’re freezing from lack of potential-

Selling the soul out from under america-

Single soulless lives mingle to get a drink-

Calling themselves artists to get under ripe silicone-

The smell of earth is lost to neon paint-

On century old temples, castles without noblemen-

Noblemen with one hand in the pot of gold-

I’ve never seen a rainbow here, just…

No parking, no standing, no signs of-

Progress is: there are more people

Who would rather live underground

Than face you…

American city of all cities…

The grandest city in all the world:

NY
