The Flatiron Building,
first "scraper," squat,
like a snout.
Today it hardly scrapes the sky.
The Chrysler Building,
still the most beautiful,
most elegant. It points
its tiara toward heaven.
The Empire State Building,
majestic but haughty.
Imperious, indifferent,
scene of the most suicides.
The Twin Towers, doomed,
still speak to one another
but in whispers.
You hear them around nine A.M.
