Under oaken tree
she sits (legs crossed)
and she waits (eyes closed)

Leaves will fall upon her neck...

New York, why when she sits in
Central Park, the center of

Yellow taxis and
you are dying and
this young fawn is pregnant, kicked
from house, home; or that
boy or man is drugged but you don't care and

Under oaken tree
she sits (legs crossed)
and she waits (eyes closed)

Rain will fall upon her back...

Noise loud, you hear?
with violent ear
and pain is drowned
by the noise of the ice cream truck...

...Dee Dee, Da Da...
...De Dum, Da Da...

Or the !snap! of fingers or
of neck, of bone, of breaking
down and (sob and tears)...

and you don't care

and

Under oaken tree
she sits (legs crossed)
and she waits (eyes closed)

The grass is blue
and sky is green and

to hear nothing, see
nothing now she
wants and waits

to infinite.

Read via the SP mention, I'm sure it deserves it. I especially liked the atmosphere engendered with the Ice cream truck's sound.

Well written.
