3460. HEART ATTACK DOMINATION

HEART ATTACK DOMINATION
Bruised feelings and traffic flows : the crazy saunter
of a nervous horse magnified five thousand times. This
is the pulse of a new modern age. Let me list  -  two
guys with construction pails smoking cigarettes at
the fence-barricade, three trucks at idle, rumbling  at
the loading corner, four groups of passersby stepping  
in to peer, five women, nicely dressed, rushing by, six
moments of aggravation as noisy clumps of street
vendors rudely sound their roars, seven carts of
food smoking the nearby air, eight statues of this
and that, scattered around the plaza, as if anyone
were to care or stop and look. One, back to one,
dizzying, outlandish world seeking a word to
describe its madness while I watch.
