The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for August 1998
parked on
the Williamsburg
bridge the subway
train rattles
down beside
us
slowing
with the traffic
fire on the
track
red
fire truck parked
in our lane
dousing
we all stop for
flame - but finally the
subway
descends on its way
and we drive
on ours
toward the
Holland tunnel
silent
the radio on
antique soft
pop
as we
go
haltingly now
glancing
through soho
July 20-27, 1998
