New York City

 

 

I want to destroy everything gorgeous

I want to throw black paint on a Picasso

Slam my bloody fingers on a piano and call it Mozart

I want to stain the white keys red

I want to slur every word Edgar Allan Poe ever wrote

I want to tear a Lilly dress apart, thread by thread

And burn a hundred thousand unpublished manuscripts

Each one, beautiful and profound, filling my lungs with smoke

I want to watch the death of music

And the world to be deafened with silence

I want a monsoon to destroy New York City

San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami

I want it all gone

I want to tell everyone that history is a myth

And none of it matters

Picasso didn’t idolize Picasso

Mozart was just Mozart

Even my beloved Edgar Allan Poe was insignificant

Music is only beautiful until it’s over

And no one actually likes New York City.

A wild ride in the poem. I had to read again. Directness of thought against New York and art. I like the tone of the poem and the surprising ending. New York is okay to visit. Too many people for me. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
