the best in town

there is a strange
desire
to be the best.
you read the signs
along the way,
on the back of buses
and taxis.
the best hamburger in
the city.
the tallest building
with the best view.
the oldest bar,
the best bagels
in Manhattan.
the original slice
of pizza.
the best show in town.
the best
music.
the best carriage ride
through the park.
the best pretzel in times square.
no one wants to be
second, or third
best.
why bother with that
when you
can have the best.
