At the corner of 50th and Lex
He stands in the street
Red cape, blue shirt, grizzled visage
Pants around his ankles
And a thousand-meter stare
At the base of the Manhattan Bridge
The 3AM lover fixes a flat tire
Summoned to the sexual consummation
of a polite first date
ended four hours earlier
On the PATH train
The sweet-faced youth dressed like a gangsta
Bops to his headphone beat
His watch alarm goes off
Beeping and beeping and beeping and beeping...
