down 5th avenue

when you walk down
5th avenue
it feels like you were born here.
that you never
left.
that this is where you
should be,
not in some suburban
cul de sac,
between
the stream and trees.
it's the city that pumps
the blood
in your veins.
puts your fingers to
the keys.
it's the pavement,
the crowds, the impossible
heights of
buildings,
the bridges,
a chaotic
blur of life,
the smell of history.
