young man
on the edge of the floor
at studio 54
where the girls dance in sea foam
synthetic silks
circled by men in iridescent suits
no need to feel down
a baby in the round
the building of a tower
tenants swimming in shit and cold water
the voices in his head
recall a time of expensive hamburgers
opulence and AIDS
just before
teenage boys
dissolve into the ink
of The Daily News
young man
cemented in 1982
gloria
is just a girl and
she says
everybody wants you
hangin' on a line
