The New Yorker
I Wake.
I See.
One scurrying
Jabbering on he
Finds his nine to five home
An empire crumbling before my eyes
Only to be replaced by one
Infinitely more powerful
An illusion dissolves
As a new day's light pokes through
Truth.

I see his white collar shining
Locked in his glass tower - subtly trapped
It was never the buildings
Or the lights
Or the sounds
One creates a world from scratch- playing God

His blue bin matches his collar, both unspeakable burdens
Locked in dismal dungeons, desperately fighting, clawing
I look around me
And see pieces of the puzzle
Together- New York

Illuminating hunched up people walking fast
A chill wind lifts debris, looks, then snaps them
