Broadway's My Beat,

and time square to Columbus Circle,

the gaudiest, the most violent,

the lonest mile in the world.

Broadway's My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.

There's a time on Broadway when the splinters at night melt into dawn.

It's a small time.

A time that's slept through.

The hour or so before the dissonance of the alarm clock shatters a city into waking.

And the pavements glisten now, gleam and turn gray, gleam again,

where it's touched by the steps of the leftover drifter.

And echoes rocket against the channel street,

make small holes in the city's silence, ebb and dive,

when the left owner turns a corner, and a small time, a time unnoticed, tail end of a dream time.

And turn the corner and follow, 3rd Avenue at 5 o'clock in the morning, there where squad

car is angled

against curb the width of the pavement away outside a store lighted by a squad car spotlight

pet shop where i was in detective muggled there he is danny see him over near the back counter just like

the man said or phoned it in yeah by the door oh wait a Huh? This card past the back the door window.

Case of emergency notify owner, John Perry, 12-12.4th Street.

Right around the corner.

Okay, Muggerman.
