New York whispers.
New York shouts.
New York hisses.
New York complains
and compares
and contradicts
all in one instant
all in one breath.

New York mutters and shudders
and makes legs flutter
when first entering, often.
New York is many things
to many people
and makes obvious statements
easy to make, apparently.

New York is big.
Bigger than description.
Bigger than poetry.
Bigger than me.
Bigger than the rest of this sente
