what r these sounds?

listen
to the
symphony
of
the city

the rattle
of
plastic cups
on
pavement

and the
squeeech
of
bus brakes

a vruumvruummmming
motorcycle
on the
overpass

and
latin music
from the
cantina
across
the street

listen
to this
awful
wonderful
place

put
your
ear
down
to the
sidewalk cracks

and
listen
to the
thumping
of
bike wheels
on
bedford
foot flaps
on
union
the hot hum
of the
subway
worming
through the
underbelly

listen
and
taste
the sickness
and
respawning
of
air
one eye
in
one eye
out


and it
sings
to you
and you
listen
