from The Ezra Pound Look-Alike
It's always the same man
Who looks like Ezra Pound
Stretched out on the sidewalk
In front of Victoria's Secret.
No one knows what to make of this catastrophe.
What's it like to be Pound's look-alike?
Every day he pulls New York City
Over himself like a blanket and sleeps.
The sidewalk is a stairway to paradise
Down Broadway to the open road.
The possibilities ahead turn around and beckon.
A woman is marvelously shaking the tambourine.
Each slab of cement has its own story.
Don't step on the sidewalk cracks or do.
Everything is magical.
Things are about to happen.
The pitter-patter of a police helicopter overhead
Looking for you
In the streets below
Says it is beautiful but also it is true.
So when America is over,
What is there after?
There's more America, comerado!
There's always more.
