I know not where I am born
In yellow leaves, or curtains worn
An eagle’s wings
In predatory flight
Or the flapping gulls
Soaring in delight
A shape I have none
Yet I get twisted and spun
Into the forgotten nooks
O’er the speeding train
Tilting caps on cops ‘n crooks
But letting their wiles remain
I gurgle the river, I whistle into the blue
I awaken the street where you grew
Windows shake and rattle
Howling Me and Yelling Them
As victims of a raging battle
The running tots, the hurrying dame
The mercury’s an easy con
But ye folks fight with brain and brawn
Polka scarves ‘n mafia coats
Flap and flutter
While woeful words and quotes
Beneath your breaths you utter
Your teeth chatter
While I play with matter
A universal clatter
All still I shatter
You curse me, you love me
I make you mad as a hatter
If by now, you’re still in doubt
Even after our feisty bout
Look closer, throw those gloves
Offer me the proverbial doves
For ‘tis me, your good ol’ friend
The wind from around the bend

Let the creative intellect continue to flow. The distance between outer space and Earth will protect you from the flight of tomatoes to outer space.
Hail New York, it only helps people to dream better and bigger and from outer space !!
Hey, very nicely put. I think I understand most of it, although it's strange how someone else words are hard to fathom- probably because it's like reading a mind- near to impossible!
Love these lines

And thanks for stopping by on my blog, and also for the very long comment on my xmas post. It was rather feel good, thanks! I hear you :)
"A shape I have none,
Yet I get twisted and spun"
Metaphorically or literally?
"Your teeth chatter
While I play with _"your"_ matter
A universal clatter
All still I shatter
You curse me, you love me
I make you mad as a hatter"

Haha! Your twisted interception of the lines reminds me of the Can A days!
Very nice!
