i'm staying up
with the empire state building
where as a 5 year oldwas afraid i'd fall
and on the eve of 34
im worried i'd jumpon 39th street
through the windows creak
central park leak
of a previous world
before junkies rolled around on concrete
and when I was 17
buying weed
looking at apartment buildings
thinking "that could be me"
my premonition was right
still is
during covid-19
