91st
Corner signs on Madison on a Friday night
Mark time;
As crisscrossing yellow cabs blur laterally
Across the mid-field glass plane
And flash and flicker silently to an opposing edge.
 
Buildings don't move but chairs and forks and
Diners do;
In complex sync with modern sounds of ordering,
Chatting, clattering, interjecting ironically
Suspending in the slow-motion field at hand.
 
In the freeze-frame of a winter evening now safe
Words fail;
But still and noisy (in here), silent and moving (out there),
The spatial-fields advance/recede, project
Against the movie screen of vigilant city walls.
 
A biker zooms by to deliver Chinese food . . .
