Hopper's Town
The cherry letter-G
bounces off Joe Louis' cheekbone
below the Garden marquee
strikes a window corner
across the blackening street
where it contemplates eternity
This is Hopper's town
Edward Hopper's town
Mingus on the el train
emerges from a tunnel
old woman leans from a window
untold stories glint
in umber trapezoids of sun
The river gets up on jagged legs
checks into the El Morocco
Pete Hamill is there
Dos Passos is there
Garbo is walking 5th
sun striped and blue
A woman undresses
on a bed in a corner
of an apartment on Tenth
she is had in the half light
that hacks the subconscious night
bounces off Joe Louis' cheekbone
below the Garden marquee
strikes a window corner
across the blackening street
where it contemplates eternity
This is Hopper's town
Edward Hopper's town
Mingus on the el train
emerges from a tunnel
old woman leans from a window
untold stories glint
in umber trapezoids of sun
The river gets up on jagged legs
checks into the El Morocco
Pete Hamill is there
Dos Passos is there
Garbo is walking 5th
sun striped and blue
A woman undresses
on a bed in a corner
of an apartment on Tenth
she is had in the half light
that hacks the subconscious night
