I will have my own
window
facing a brick wall facing
a violent street interlaced ambulances and fire chiefs yelling and reporters
telling the rest of the world how new york city
woke up this
morning
coughing up infectious smog
barely speaking with the exhaust
voice of a chain smoker
interview me, I'll tell you all about the real estate market
the real
estate market, this place better be the best there ever was or how else could you justify
people renting out their
closets on 14th street
a drag queen says to me, this dress, this
dress is either louis vuitton or you found it in the trash behind a thrift store,
make a wild guess I say
I see her sleeping in front of a grocery store the next weekend
and I buy her a pretzel.
