Broome and Grand
    David Goldstein
A neon moon turns slowly
over the sign that says: EAT.
Underneath, a woman reads
in her car, the windows closed.


The streetcleaner's circling brush
drops bottlecaps on Grand Street.
Impossible to tell sun
from air or sidewalk from wall.


When we find a place
we might love, we stay.
