Improv of "Broadway"

I loved the "electric stars" phrase from this piece and also the way that the poet set up the piece itself.

         Electric stars light the way for
               four hundred and twenty thousand.
                      They don't see the beauty of it

         all, blinking new messages of
               entertainment and hope
                       that for a moment, at least

         we forget the terrible and drift
               into the man made marvelous
                       night sky, beckoning with each timed twinkle.
