Paper receipts
long and lost underneath
the weight of new york streets
Flying with bent wings
and dollar sign tattoos string-
ing all over, lurid with numbers
and of course a signature
Names gliding up above metro
trying to touch the airplanes-
sorely losing,
and cluttering the gutters,
deeply hungover
the power lines and moreover,
just waste to the wind.
They fly like a flock and clog
the blue, blue sky with paper chalk
making quite the milieu of
money spent but not enough.
