In case you haven't noticed, Whitman is in some car commercial. So good luck imbibing the city to spit out some type of hairball musing.

I am sitting on the roof as the morning stretches blue sleep away and drags
a red velvet across its shoulders. Everything is smaller than me. I finger the
brick, red and raw like dried blood but it is far. -- but it is far = independent article or whatever, so coordinating conjunction comma or whatever if you give a shit about grammar.
          I am becoming. Girl as city. -- I become? am becoming sounds kind of cool, but it's kind of like becoming super saiyan 3 or the soul bomb (both take multiple episodes). 
There are lights. Tarps in windows, curling plants. Streets have cars missing -- plants = very vague. More descriptive words = better.
like teeth, those already gone off to work or those who haven't come home
yet. There is a wind that tussles my hair like his hand. Donuts are being sprinkled, --Who is "his" referring to? Does the poem explain this? Should it? idk...
shower curtains drawn back. I am shuddering - not from the cold but from the
hum in my chest. An old song, dizzy in my head, plays; An old man singing from -- Old man? Sheesh, you'll hurt the old fart's feelings!
a mountain to his heart, lost somewhere in the town below
"I am here and it's okay, you can forget about me"
This is pretty good, but I can't tell if it's more than some bullshit cadence of some type of captivating musing or if you're trying to say something or whatever. Beats me. Good luck!
