I drift about the city,
Catching trams at random
And riding to the end of the line,
Staring out of train windows,
Carefully choosing my seat on the bus,
So let it come,
Let it all come,
And if there are no answers
There is pleasure in the quest…
Is this city male or female
Or a splendid hermaphrodite?
Here I take my chances,
Follow my hunches,
Spend too much for too little,
Lose my way sometimes.
Here and there a sudden glimpse
Of beautiful strangeness
Will prove the revelation
Secreted in the bones,
Instantaneous chimera,
Black lightning in the veins.
Arbitrary streets,
Do you know how momentous
You are?
