out by the lighthouse 
on the tip of roosevelt island


i see a crab claw on the ground
its colors were shell cream, a deep red,
a browny green and a verbal blue.

gulls wing by
or sit on the concrete barrier watching
ruffled by the wind.

it�s cold enough on the east river
i�ve pulled up both my hoods
to protect my ears.
i have to carry my hat
if it weren't for the feather
i could crush my hat up in my bag

right across from here
(is manhattan)
there is a park on the upper east side.
below it is the doubledecker east side highway.

boats that power through this confluence
dwarf doubbledecker highways
and any building i�ve ever called home.

a tanker,
scratched, scarred, rusted, discolored,
moves faster than you�d think
a building could
withtout falling down.

the water here
at the top of the island
is a chaotic flow
that does terrifying things.
