if you need a second opinion, lay your back upon the Brooklyn street. breathe. ask God or the air or the picture of your mother's smile to tell you yes or no. the yes will come like water from a hydrant, splashing between your thighs, as cars scream by. New York for me is a peach sunset over Long Island City, Queens, PS1 dance into the night, and all the dogs waiting for their owners to get home.
