I heard them and I still hear them above the threatening shrieks of police sirens above the honking horns of morning traffic, above the home-crowd cheers of Yankee Stadium above the school bells and laughter lighting up the afternoon above the clamoring trudge of the 1 train and the 2 and 4, 5, 6, the B and the D above the ice-cream trucks' warm jingle above the stampede of children playing in the street, above the rush of a popped fire hydrant above the racket of eviction notices above the whisper of moss and mold moving in above the High Bridge and the 145th Street Bridge above mothers calling those children to come in for dinner, to come in before it gets dark, to get your ass inside above them calling a child who may never come home above the creaking plunge of nightfall and darkness settling in the deepest corners above the Goodyear blimp circling the Stadium above the seagulls circling the coastal trash along the East River and in the Bronx young men are singing and I hear them, eastbound into eternity even as morning destars the sky.
