I never choose fruit

Hi Keith,
Nice piece. I didn't find much to be changed with it, but here are some thoughts.

sit on my park bench meal deal, --I do agree with the comment above, it sounds like you're sitting on your kunch, hehe. So add some punctuation or rephrase the line.
coffee with a shot of vanilla,
sandwiches and a chocolate biscuit
or fruit. last but least Smile

The city drones regardless, Regardless of what?
a backdrop to my tranquil moment. Maybe you could switch this and the previous line around... Oblivious to my tranquil moment / the city drones regardless. Or something like that.
Today is different,(Wink it taps for my attention,
vocal chords that wont hold still Won't with the apostrophe, or is that meant to be wont?
they shout and scream, 'they' is unnecessary
blowing panic, man and machine
that tumble down crowded streets
quicker with each step,
rubble falls around me(.)

I feel like a drunk woken at a party(,)
stumbling to process the marker-pen scene,
drowning sirens are seen(,) not heard
dust has its hands down my throat. Love this line.
The rubble turns to burning bodies,
thumping to the ground,
splitting branches from the trees.
My mind had told my legs to run
long before it told me.
Free verse poetry and jazz are like brother and sister.
