How much work to put
into finding someone
to read the work?
You're here,
aren't you?
Remind me
how we
found each other.
You were on the corner
of Leonard and Grand.
No
that was me.
There was a vegan
diner, almost sports-
themed,
and a cocktail bar,
and we went
to neither.
I sent too many pages
of trash
to a man
who once rode
a bus.
You would never
have done that
to me.
Mutual
fracture.
Our noses
brought us to this city.
My ears
lead me
away.
Your eyes
are still there
upstairs
looking from the rooftop
into the alveoli
of Brooklyn.
Whoever you are
whenever you are
I'll meet you here
even if I will be
somebody else.
