SLOW MOTION EVAP

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

New York City continues to be the goal of many aspirational beings, both young and old, for there is little distinction of talent in the city of “truly creative arts” that finds discriminating between young and old an issue… unlike that very quickly evaporative nature of Hollywierd’s here today, gone tomorrow syndrome.

SLOW MOTION EVAP

 


STREET EVAP
Brother can you spare a...
God bless you.


THEATRE EVAP
I don’t know how they stand it.
I mean, rattling candy wrappers after the curtain goes up.


CAB EVAP
One-way parking lot, eh?

Might be easier I get out at the corner here.
That’s fine. Thank you.
$5.70 all together?
Nice music.
Rite of Spring
Watch the ice.


CITY EVAP
Spirits... all kinds of people spirits.
Some exist,
Some not knowing why they exist.
Some wanting to vanish
Some gambling for more than might be achievable.

 

But beware…

 

SPIRIT EVAP

Of NYC’s quest for imaginative excellence is indomitable,

Regardless of any boiling point deterrent.

The Paris of the United States. Probably the way it is because so many immigrants landed there with all of their talent the only thing they had left after the journey. But I'm glad NYC still has its allure to young and old alike. What better place to come of age? Perhaps nature. But that's becoming more and more, second fiddle.

I love New York. Lived there for quite a few years. Lynbrook, Long Island and the city.

As they say, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

Indeed, New York and its people have their own special culture and way of doing things. There is no place like it on earth, in my opinion.
