every year, a new

every year, a new
infusion of potential
future new yorkers

insist on staying on the
grid – street and avenue people

in the history

in the history
of responding to
acts of division,
the go-to responses
were to draw the
curtains or take to
the streets. perhaps
there is a
kaleidoscope of
choices, waiting
for us to rotate,
reflect, come
together, and
conjure them
into place

becoming familiar

becoming familiar
with new streets starts
with forgetting old
ones, making room
for new turns and
bumps in the road,
so that there is less
chance for
tripping and falling,
getting lost – still,
we need more time

perhaps new flavors

perhaps new flavors
arrive once a
month, landing
in JFK with
a slosh and some
nervousness –
on the streets of
Brooklyn, a world
of wondrous
piraguas awaits

messages from another me

on the wet streets of

on the wet streets of
chinatown, there is something
for everybody.

we pick up our pace, not ready
to become ensnared, indulgent

on the streets of love,

it’s all well and good

it’s all well and good
to state that we will not show
up, that we will take
to the streets, show
solidarity by stepping out
of housework, child
care, maybe apply
some self-care at
the local beauty
parlor, therapeutic
spa. meanwhile, a
host of silent women
will step in
to fill the gap, make
the lunches, file the
nails, listen to and
nod and listen to the
ones who insist on
being heard

at sunset, portals

at sunset, portals
open up all across city
streets, curbside,
adjoining this world
with countless
others – so much
temptation

in the middle

in the middle
of the night,
belonging and
not belonging
take turns
at the wheel,
driving from
one small town
to another,
practicing
exemption
