The Gritty City

The city inspires
its spires require
a gaze through the haze
to blaze through the maze-
to praise in amazement
"how wondrous is life"
--the people that make it.

the planes of existence
that litter this jungle
of concrete and steel.
they steal you a meal
and make you feel real
but don't eat the veal
because its not humanitarian.
and our culture obsesses over social justice.

Hey! If we care so much, why can't we smile at each other on the subway? Or help a stranger who has a seizure on the train?


I wish you all and myself a joyous today and tomorrow, filled with blessings and happy encounters with strangers and friends alike.

and remember, the journey IS part of the destination :-)
