Gallimaufry of Cacophony and Sweet Sounds by David Hart
The title was from a line in a poem entitled "The Spry Metropolis" by David Hart
......Great city, your hecatombs
Of underground trains
Roar scream in
Hodge-podge graffiti attire
Fat fuming brattling buses
Grunt their huffpuffs,
And nervous cars scissorcut
Impatiently betwixt tarred and
Cemented streets August and capacious
Ferruminated grey glass and steel
Towers--Aeeries in obeisance to the
Heavens, erupt in anabasis at the azure
Pearly welkin,
Humming diapasons of marvelous
Melismatic tunes
A gallimaufry of cacophony and
Sweet sounds--the
Great Metropolis persistently thrives.
Streets adorned with sylph fashion
Models, conute churls.......
