Autumn in New York (Remix)

autumn-rhythm
On the day
October exploded
over the city,
an entire month
spilling its guts
to the grafitti of mass agitation,
the trains stopped running,
streets went dark,
hobgoblins rose to the occasion,
as did cryptic totems and obelisks
which suddenly lined the concrete canyons,
and people everywhere froze,
staring into the whorling heart
of a tempest
that made autumn in New York
a thing of the future.
