his voluble presence
was an affront to the morning
an unwelcome breaking
to the gentle rumbling
of the gentle murmur
of the train

You Make the City Vague
you make the city vague
with your wispy shroud
the soft outlines fading
into the grey backdrop
while disembodied lights
dance in the distance.

Morning Commute
the fog lay lightly on the near distant landscape
the mist a quiet shroud upon the waking city
blank and stoic faces shuffled on the moving train
a crowd of familiar strangers my silent company

Busker
he played music on a street corner
not yet full of the seasons bustle
the rise and fall of mournful notes
a landscape painted in Christmas hues
his red stocking cap sat a jaunty angle
while tendrils of wispy smoke drifted
on the wind, and brass vibrations wafted
down the city streets at mid day

Blow Wind, Howl in the Morning Light
blow wind, howl in the morning light
race down and through and round
the bare and broken city streets.
cold and furious, frigid and wry,
you wrap your fingers fast round
staccato steps and quickened heartbeats

Soft Light at the Start of Day
soft light at the start of day
cold and gray, vapor strewn,
it dawned timid and reluctant,
falling light landing lightly
on the variegated cityscape.

The article has just the right sort of tone and mood that makes reading it fun even though I’m pretty sure I didn’t really understand half of it. ;)
