The Artist, The City —Ernest Williamson III Diverse Voices Quarterly, Vol. 1, Issue 1 & 2 28
VERTIGO A face among many I am a drifter Look above—a vertigo dream See me—swallowed by the city An adrenaline thrill. But the city provides shelter It swallows but does not devour Like the spaces of a small town And the familiar faces. A claustrophobic nightmare See me—drowning in boredom A death by breathlessness. I would rather dive, unknown, to my demise From the top of a tall building Than be swept along the sidewalks Of sleepwalkers who know my name. Beautiful city—city of skyscrapers Open your smoggy, elevated depths To my stifled but opened mind. —Laura Yates Fujita Diverse Voices Quarterly, Vol. 1, Issue 1 & 2 29
