VANTAGE

In the cirrus and the nimbostratus and upmost stories
   of the Chrysler Building, Woolworth, World Trade
Manhattanscape is zebra-ing of architecture and road-
   ways alight with talent and traffic signals
Look-see to the harbor-lands and the flatlands, and the
   outer-lands of Queens
past Hoboken (oh! surely past) then all New Jersey,
   westward
on northward beyond the harp strings of bridge,
   the geology of palisades, northward ever until
   dissolved from sight perhaps behind a Catskill
empyrean surfeit with demigods and Muses; upon the
   city such creative urgencies: singularities,
   monumentalities, hybrids of the 7 Arts

Stand on this pinnacle vantage: Rockefeller Center,
   Empire State Building and vaunt, vaunt it
