If you could suggest any, that would be very helpful. American ones are especially interesting.

Flying to New York
Sparkling it shines below me,
An electric sea.
The hooded trains like snakes unrolling.
Soon they’ll carry me.
New York underneath my plane,
The scream of jets, I’m back again.
New York.
New York is where the passers-by
Rush like clouds through concrete sky.
Windows beckon, doorways shout
Here’s fame and fortune crying out.
New York.
The blocks rise up like heads of serpents:
Hobos, bankers, diamond merchants.
New York spreads out its wings for me,
Cars roaring in a metal sea.
Where the home is, where the heart is
Life and love and endless parties.
Where all are salesmen and all bet
That you can buy with no regret
A car, a friend, a bowl of gold,
A single candle in a darkened world.
New York.
