A-mơ-ri-cơ America

America

I call you Miss Diagonal, babe

*

I met you, Miss Diagonal
in Broadway
the only artery which runs diagonal
in the whole grid-like Manhattan
and I realize
you’re Broadway so mesmerisingly long

*

I look at America
through
your perversely di tenderness
your vulnerably    a    gynecology
your frustratingly     g      sensuality
your waywardly            o      friendliness
your hopelessly                n        dynamism
your puzzlingly                     al         pussy

*

I met you, diagonal girl
in diagonal Broadway
and I realize
you’re America
