A Tale of Travel

NYC: A Haiku For Every Borough

By K. D. Effrain
Winds of Prospect blowÊ
century old guardians
from earth to concrete

Citi sunshine calls
turf-wars with pirates and teams
of cannons til dark

Lee, Joe, D and Ralph
talk pies, beer and late night ice
while Islanders feed

171 sweats
in bulletproof cells saying
"You are not from here."

City heatwave liftsÊ
Mott St. still sings discord andÊ
Wash Hts. keeps dancing

*	*	*

New York cold nights hot
for endless days, while Mozart
plays to season's change
