i love the night sounds of the city: the ocean waves of the freeway traffic, the caterwaul of police, fire & ambulance sirens, the clack of a passing truck, the still air at 3:00 a.m., the doppler chop of police helicopters on patrol, the murmurs of the occasional passerby, the whir of the blowing wind thru the trees, the critters, racoons & opossums, on their midnight rounds, a poet who should be in bed
