jerking off in Greenpoint!
working in Central Park!
no headphones on 86th and Lex!
a rose on 27th Street!
postcards in Union Square!
overhearing someone shoehorn
their business degree
into a conversation
in Herald Square.
regrettable date in SoHo!
sweating on the L!
reading my own books at Strand!
eating streetmeat on 53rd and 6th Avenue!
pooping at Franco's flophouse!
waking up in the Bronx!
taking a photo of a bench,
but not sitting down on said bench,
because of the current crackheads,
because of the past.
writing poetry everywhere!
making awkward eye contact anywhere!
listening to the new batch who just moved here!
throwing old Reeboks over a powerline!
showing my vax card at coffee shops.
riding the Rumbler!
the mornings
are my favorite
and I am reminded why
this place is my destiny.
doing a podcast in Willytowne!
laughing at a comedy show in Bushwick!
waiting on 72nd and Broadway!
eating pizza on the Upper West Side!
hustling in Harlem!
a new tattoo in Times Square!
