Longing for the City
Central Park broke my Heart and the Taxi Driver shot me.
Washington Square had poisoned Air and the musicians coughed and spit.
Carnegie Hall dropped the Ball on this New Years Eve,
To end the smiles, end the week,
As I cross the bridge to the L.I.E.
New York City proved to be an Apocalyptic Place,
My Heart and Soul
Fell out and rolled
Out of Sight.
Goodnight New York,
I love you dearly,
But for tonight,
I'm Sad without the City.

such a strong first line!!! it sounds like a lyric from some angsty and obscure song lol. but i can't quite catch the connection of the taxi driver shooting you (metaphorically i hope) and the next few lines full of subtext about various environmental concerns. i also don't really understand the strange pattern of captializations but i guess it emphasizes the important words of your poem? when you say "end the week" and "but for tonight" do you mean that whatever is hapening now isn't going to be permanent. in that case, that's admirably optimistic of you and i hope it will true!
