10-08-12 Sketches Of A Metropolitan Moment

The saints are all marching
up Fifth Avenue on a chilly morning
in step with the current trends
building a network of miracles
underneath the Flat Iron Building
across from Madison Square Park
where the pigeons are all feeding
on stale breadcrumbs scattered around
from the shaky hand of an elderly woman 
wearing a red scarf and a dirty raincoat
and she's been there for decades
sitting on an old wooden bench
watching time go by so slowly
and witnessing the steady growth
of skyscrapers and superstars
