Quiet City
Three-thirty in the morning, the city quiet as it gets--
only the plaintive tones of an English horn
rising above strings, faint buzz of wheels on pavement
of the West Side Highway, car alarm some blocks
away, neighbors clumping in and down to feed their cats,
hum of electri-city, E above high C, I've heard.
New York City, 12/31/03
