Left in Pittsburgh

Miles Varana

We had an argument one time.
Is this city a noun or verb?
You insisted noun, I contended verb.

You saw the cracks in the sidewalk,
the fire escapes going up to nothing,
the rain on the window pane,
the streetcar stopped under the shoes hung
on the powerline, laces white with snow.
What ever happened to jazz? You demanded.

I see the lights going out one by one,
the dumpster lids slamming shut,
the brunch spots coming alive at eleven,
the passing of fancies,
and the streetcar skating away from us
with your scarf on a seat.
