Nocturnal void lower Fifth
Stepped in that desert off the kerb
A roar spurting eighty whams by
What a pleasure, I wasn't killed
Laughed how dear the morose asphalt
Tail light at Sixth, waiting for a green
I'd recognized it, a friend's car
That like enraged had roared past me
Game unmentioned when we met, roar
Obscure he, I, have let alone
New York accommodates years more
Daily the unknown and the known
Sometimes I can't, madly gloomy
Recall that events are roomy
Recall that events are roomy
Edwin Denby (1903-1983):"Nocturnal void lower Fifth...", c. early 1960s, from Collected Poems (1986)
