no combat zones
no grindhouses
just big chain stores
Broadway theatres
ubiquitous NYPD
sidewalk salespeople
arm-thrusting admissions
to bus tours
and Comedy Central tapings
old Paramount Pictures theater
from Hollywood's Golden Age
turned into Hard Rock Cafe
high-priced deli food
neon screens sell-sell-sell
products to consume
just like Vegas
just like Hollywood and Highland
if you can find an open table
you can sit down
and marvel
at how the part of
the city that never sleeps
where James Dean once
had an iconic photo taken
isn't pure, take-a-risk New York
but a nonfattening outdoor mall
in AnyCity USA
