The American Way
  Voraciously, I turn and tear, pacing
  Clawing at seams, clawing at faces
  Flashing and cutting, the neon tubes combust and appal
  The cold-cracked grey and dirt-powdered cinderblock way
  The way to virtue?  The path to adventure and thrill?
  Or have my heroes left me to my gutters
  Empty and charged, yearning the ink tincture
  Muttering and cursing as lights and sex evade
  I hunger for an American feast
  Truly a poor man’s meal
