GOTHAM. ON THE SIXTH DAY OF RAIN.

Gloomy Gotham
Your secret is out.
I love you New York City.

Gotham,
you continue to hold me with your magnetic gaze,
your gloomy magnetic gaze ensorcells me
and from what your minions tell,
it will be a long time coming before you set me free.
Gotham, release me,
I must roam, your street beckon me,
I am unable.

A glimmer in Gotham?
could it be that your heart
still beats for me?
Oh, Gotham, surly miserable Gotham
Beautiful Grand Gotham
try for me
Try, I need your smile today,
Oh Gotham,
Throw all caution out on Broadway,
Love me again.

Dreary Gotham
Are those tears,
Gotham your underbelly is showing
Tender caring Gotham
humming, whispering at every turn,
Your gloom is etched into my sinews
your tears hanging like tentacles,
droops snake-like from my head and face,
Gotham, your pundits are liars
they know nothing of your condition,
I love you Gotham,
your steady soft rain beats gently on my head
my shoulders, my breasts,
I am wet with desire, for you
Beautiful Gotham.
