Man/God on Train
By Alyce Wilson

Have a booooootiful
night -- the stars
are looking at you.
I give my blessings
to you all.


Is this where you get off?

Try to maintain my self.
Watch out for that devil.

The devil’s always out there.

63rd Street --

broken down
ornate brick
with plaster (that’s
the ornate part)
peeking over to the
El -- many of
them blind and
hollow (the windows).
But a few
have been re-sided
and resided
and have flowered
curtains fading
in the lite.

Blessed be.
