The Altar
And the sky will grow dark but not go out
The omnipresent neon signs
That never switches off, extinguishes
Or exits in this carnival of skyscraper mirrors, fried foods
Fast ecstasies, jumbo TVs, they advertise the world
Endless crowds and their information
Tight wire act texting spellbound myths into
The electronic divide
At celebrations ball, multicolored, multidimensional
Instruments no longer line up for the latest Broadway hits
YouTube, Facebook video hi-jinks
Forever leaving a trail on the web
Of not so silent tongues ready to scream
At Times Square, where once a year
Everyone’s voice is heard…
