What do I see?




the damaged
and the impeccable
New York New York



the handwriting
on the fan
the shit
on the wall


washed up on my block
the carcasses
of Christmas trees


I have seen
the enemy
and it is
coleslaw

"the damaged

New York New York"

this one has poetic power!

the revision in line 3 works so well!
i suppose that every town has two `faces` but that it is true in a very special way for cities like New York (i`ve never been there or better: i`ve only been there in my fantasy)


best wishes,
Angelika
