Winking_____gold_____red
blue__________electric
_____city
of one million eyes,
each turned inward.
Windows of a high-rise
betray not telescopes
but the closed curtains
of modest folk
who attend therapy
and ingest their pills
as prescribed by a shrink.
A toast if I may
to the twisted freaks
who in this town's heyday
raised binoculars
to spy across the way
a neighbor, likewise
unattired. Masturbating
to the sight of each
other, uncaring
yet tender:
love__________magnified.
Lights_____render_____memory
_____relevant
as__________ghosts.
