AN EGYPTIAN IN NEW YORK

 

Every few centuries Sobek renews

His license to be a crocodile. If being a god

Becomes impossible, he'll still be able

To make a living. He finds the city cold

Though he's been stranded here for years. 

Having nowhere else to be an hour

After the sun's abandoned its responsibilities

I watched him standing by a Christmas window 

Spellbound by the clever automatons.
