Poetry of the Day

Viva Nueva York


I come from haunts of coot and hern
In New York City buenas dias

I bubble in the pebble
Hurricane Sandy
Subway floods
Pump pump pump
Get the agua out
Walls came down
Shut down
Take the autobus

But men may come 
to take the bus
But woah it takes so long
Traffic jam, so many stops
And people are so slow

And men may go
Donde vas amigo?
Down the steps
Up the steps

But I go on forever
Viva Nueva York!
