It's a city of Ghosts.
When I first moved there
(1997)
The laments were constant, and you felt glad to be able
to grab onto your piece of the island before moneyed erosion hit it
But things have chnaged more now
Int he past 5 years
And now the city that best embodied the idea of the internet
has mirrored its progress.
Ads and corporations have taken over,
and all the weird voices have been marginalized
And left ot hide in dark alleys
until they are crowded into the Hudson and East Rivers
and are now only speaking underwater
and in New Jersey.
