lungs are full of smoke down on Broome Street
foamy voices babble out a cacophony of sounds
a flagrant boisterous symphony
plucked from the fingertips of late nights in melody
neither tendon nor freckle
out of sync
the children of a wise discussion on visionaries
urchins of the night
garlanding their balconies with carrot flowers
the men and women in the apartments above
dreaming brilliant dreams of puppy dogs and string instruments
seduced to hugging their bedposts with upturned sleepy smiles
