River Smells

there are floors available
in an office tower
                across from
                the
Plaza Rio
shopping mall

eyeballs and cheekbones
                of glass
gaze
across
                     shops
restaurants
                cars
                     busses

that noisy current burns more gas
than water flows in the river

where hands of cement
wash themselves

seagulls harvest trash
emigrants wait for departure

and the migra patrol      watches

over that channel
                     tourists
                     cross by the bridge
that leads to Revolution
                     Avenue

¿who cares if it stinks?
