Steamy city after twilight
April shower washes by
screechy clatter people mover
on the el it lumbers high
street lights car lights traffic signals
revving engines squealing brakes
steam escaping manhole cover
hear the sizzle, nearly shakes
music from the nearby tavern
spills into the twilight scene
builds upon the street noise backbone
scintillating, tasty, lean -
ing back against the lamp post
eyes closed trench coat all askew
washed by rain and now by music
twilight city street milieu
and the el clatters by
