Footprints of Steel

FOOTPRINTS OF STEEL

1-2-3, A-C-E

Doors opening, doors closing

People ebbing, people flowing

Hello, goodbye, goodbye, hello

The corporate slave

Routine, the enemy

The tourist

Maps, a best friend

The homeless

Vodka, a therapy

Everyone deserves

Academy awards

For the roles

They play

Flashback

Subway series, three nickel fare

Duke of Flatbush, Jackie steals home

Larsen perfect, Yogi MVP

Tip jar hats

The best jazz is below

Daze and Crash

Graffiti once criminalized

Now MOMA shows

I admire her

She smiles back

We are both thinking the same thing

But exit the station strangers

If only I were a dog

I would sniff her buttocks

Prudence is

The curse of humanity
