Morning City (Free verse) by Jack Diamond

Free way hum distant horns turning avid chirping musing my cracked eye open dawn always comes first Back alley dialect hobo toiling bottles cat fight ghetto chimes spitfire Mexican hellcat polka a frantic low frequency vibrates my spine Sweetbread and laundry soap smells like the panaderia where I score need more sleep too many doors though a peaceful drift at 3:am I have laied my pet in this trap again I'm deep into it through the roof away from hard waters free of the grip looking forward with bent hip my starting gun is loaded.

Aha, I guess I missed that bit. Perhaps for the sake of clarity you might want to work in a line just hinting a little more that it's your cat waking you...I only say this because stanza 1 is a great description of dawn, but I've never known dawn to arrive that early. It is a very peaceful poem though.
