And So It Goes


NYC trip has begun.

Cars, trucks, busses,

roaring past, no heed for toes or puddles

where are you going?  

Down into the underbelly of the city

taste the thick air, the hot limestone 

stop breathing my air

bump on the tracks, numbers etched in tile,

14, 23, 34 

is it ok to breathe again?

cheeseburger, steak fries with a side of ranch

you must feed the mind as well as the body

talk to loved ones about time ticking too slowly

but quickly at the same time

lying
in the dark
belly down, face buried in pillows
retainers reconstructing teeth
maybe i'll look better tomorrow
maybe not
