NEW YORK HURTS
by Stoney Emshwiller
SOGGY movie lines
twizzler red vines
stinky subway crushes
crazy taxi rushes
rude masses
fogged-up glasses
curbs with crushed candy wrappers
Huggy-Bear-hatted prostitute slappers
mean waiters
crowded elevators
smelly shoppers
trendy be-boppers
It's a lousy place to go
And yet I still miss it so
