Westin, North Tower, Room 3036
(Seattle, at Night -- 11/29/93)
Seattle, at night
wrapped up in its cocoon
of cloud-reflected light;
a sodium glow
pierced by an occasional aircraft flight.
no gunshots, no sirens,
no street brawls, no fights
is Seattle at night.
In Seattle
(the night before home -- 12/4/93)
Sizzle, sazzle Seattle.
headlights snaking endlessly into Seattle.
I'm trying hard to hold it together
on the night before home.
I feel like I've been living
in a different quantum state,
here in the west coast time zone.
