Three Short Poems About New York by Tanya Bryan
Harlem
An open fire hydrant
Geysering crosswise
To spume at laughing children
With its lacustrine arms
Concrete turning from
Light grey to dark
Aqueous solution
To August heat wave
Chelsea in the Rain
wandering Chelsea
in the rain
galleries closed
on Mondays
still waiting for
Chelsea Hotel
to reopen
its Affect-ations to me
Burnham’s Folly
Edward Steichen's misty muse
The Flatiron Building
An architectural piece of cake
The only folly was those who doubted
Burnham knew what he was doing
