veda's cup on hotel (super 8) chair, henrietta new york

julie's garden, virginia                                                         

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
