Lola Ridge

Bowery Afternoon

Drab discoloration
Of faces, façades, pawn-shops,
Second-hand clothing,
Smoky and fly-blown glass of lunch-rooms,
Odors of rancid life’€¦
 
Deadly uniformity
Of eyes and windows
Alike devoid of light’€¦
Holes wherein life scratches -
Mangy life
Nosing to the gutter’s end’€¦
 
Show-rooms and mimic pillars
Flaunting out of their gaudy vestibules
Bosoms and posturing thighs’€¦
 
Over all the Elevated
Droning like a bloated fly.
