ny made perfect sense to me
tonight
on my way home from j's birthday
past what i remembered to be Cajvans apartment
past the fighting yuppie couple who look so completely out of place on avanue c
past the deli on the corner wher jenp and i used to get kraft macaroni and cheese
past tompkins square park where, in summer teenagers, pretending to be homeless and fleeing their boring and settled subruban lives for a few sweet weeks, will hang out and ask for quarters so they can buy beer
past 7A and the sidewalk cafe
past the hipsters on cell phones
past ave a sushi (aka 'disco sushi')
past the crowd of people waiting to get into Opaline
past the laundomat and grocery store where at 11:45pm people are going about their daily business as if it were 6 pm somewhere else.
past the gay boys with the same haircut as me
past the record shop that is open till midnight
past chi chi restaurants in which i will probably never set foot
past the funeral parlor where i have never seen a funeral
past the homeless man who i appologize to since i actually do NOT have any change.
past Julep which has the best bloody mary's in NYC (and a hot bartender to boot)
and onto Houston where it seems the entire city is converging and moving frantically trying to get to the next place they are going
