FOG BANK OVER THE FLAGSHIP HOTEL ON PIER 25
David Cowen
the blankness begins like the hem of a curtain
at the second story windows
beyond the glass
an unfinished watercolor
soft strokes obscured
like an artist's repentence
the morning shift of laborers
clerks, cooks, maids and hops
walk in procession into the emptiness
while a yellow cream limosine
idles in the circular drive
below the pylons
the caustic foam pushes on
indifferent to the temporary oblivion.
