Perth Amboy
Under Victory Bridge’s stable structure
-maybe a dozen homeless still awake-
a horn blew, and a thick black
blanket laid over all the houses
under repair. Then, on Smith, pizza
in a storefront window, the live dogs
barking, mouths opening and closing
like those animated mannequins that dance all night
in retailers’ windows. For sale,
freshly done hair turned away from the rain,
the pigeons lined up like the endless phone lines
and cheap food, the makeshift signs
of secondhand clothes
and a bag of the famous guy
while he shelters the doorway of City Hall.
