they electrocute me
violent city lights
houston bowery elizabeth hester
a berry grand union bushwick man
vying for the streets' attention
a rush through countless energy fields
can these timid hands handle
a frenzied cobalt knockout fight
hardwired cortex concrete
pounding pavement endlessly
without the trees where could they be please
please please hallow this obscure ascension
give me the fire
to breathe
