Downtown, I

walk toward something and nothing while
the sounds of everything hum and blare.

There is a geometry in this chaos, a pattern
I cannot track completely but catch in traces

on windows and rows of red bricks: a
suggestion that under the steel and scaffolding

of the city is something natural, living. There.
