ENJOY BEAUTIFUL
Enjoy beautiful
You in Cozumel
Me in a state of sublimity
Where all the memories conflate
And you are left complete
Knowing seemingly all alleys
All runways, arena spaces and overlooks
From which the City looks special
Towers, parks, elevated walkways.
Well, when you are on the sidewalk
Any St. or Avenue
East side, West Village, far Rockaway
Out to Hamptonville by the sea
You are subject to search
By the local dignitaries
And their duly appointed mercenaries
Seeking a government pension
The gold bell on the fleece the system “scale” –
A misused word today –
Denoting bigger, better, more capitalization
Implying power, innovation and completion.
Yet the more “scale” is talked about
The more “niche player” rings astute
As if knowing something really well
Would separate pretender from master.
Show without equivocation
That any letter addressed
With the admonition “return to sender.”
Would not survive the high-tech X-gen-er.
Because once you press “send”
There is no retrieval
And thus “scale,” once voice
Is empty because it was sought overtly
