no violent crime in
NYC today
a day like none any could recall
when the sirens flared , red lights flashed
for ease of movement in traffic
riding among a sea of yellow, accustomed
to alarm in radio voices, the edge of the edgy day
dulled by passage, coffee and sweets, and passage
no violence today.
There were harsh words on airwaves
right about this and wrong about that
Brooklyn against the heroes
of MSG
the gridiron titans, and destiny; Yankees
all in passionate NewYork-ese but not
the raised hand, no angry turn of no return
no violent crime in NYC today
I thought it was a sign,
thought to go look for Jesus up in Harlem
One policeman went viral, warm boots
for a shoeless man, so cold these streets
so warm one heart…then watched by many more;
this touch like Jesus in midtown Manhattan
no violent crime
today
NYC …then the world.
