The East Village
Wanda Phipps
morning poem #42
8:30 a.m. and
I'm a Chelsea girl
overlooking the
Irish Rep
and a lone tree
full of golden leaves
bends in front of
the Greyhound Elevator Corp.
or is it the Metropolitan Elevator Corp.
or is it both
next to the Stanwick Building
leather jacket weather
but already the sun
coming down on
bundled cyclist
hard to imagine after
last night's chilly
post curry walk
under a ringed
full moon
"The Importance of
Being Earnest"
posters me
implying intrigue
and mischief all
catty-corner to the Buddhist
Meditation Center
but I have to go sit
at The Big Cup:
2nd biggest gay pickup
joint next to the Barracuda
of course--I'm waiting
for the true mirror
Next
