Hopper's Cage
Inspired by 'Room in Brooklyn' by Edward Hopper, 1932
New York lady
head hung low and lazy
boxes of light cast
across her chalky colored cell
a city tomb at the peak of brooklyn
horizon-free view at her lap
If you’re lonely don’t look up
doze in barred rocking chair
passed out or passed on
a cut rose in a hollowed vase
yellowing like window shades
empty apocalypse windows
city of hollows
her dusty room of solitude

“JUNE 25, 2024”
LOOKING THROUGH MY BACK PAGES IS THE THEME NO SCHEME JUST SEEMS THE THING TO DO. Here it is 2015. Christmas eve. Happy Holidays to everyone and Merry Christmas and all that jazz. Have a prosperous New Year. May we be in the mood for peace and love instead of hate. May we learn to love each other as human beings. May we learn to not always be at war.
