Thanks to Oscar Wilde

hi useless, i felt this was an inward looking piece that was light yet rich for a short poem. i like the juxtaposition of the girl and the reader. the last line works well with the poem, a poem that isn't meant to influence art; but does create a mood. a why mood.
no inline feedback as you fixed the punctuation already. that last stanza i think is special.

She chased the glow of a neon sunset,
daydreaming of that faded skyline
and a luxury apartment
on the twenty-sixth floor,

while I sat with an impressionist
painting under the Whitestone Bridge -- 
reading his poems, thinking
that Art was finally useless.

daydreaming of that faded skyline
and her high-life apartment
on the twenty-sixth floor,

painting under the Whitestone Bridge - 
reading his poems thinking
