Seoul boy nice kid, eighteen, from the East took on the east side and the west side story goes, his mother knew "much dings" and his father knew politics, so "less dings" his mother was a woman of words, spoke of feminists, spoke of progress, read many books and spoke goot engeulish, "and your job?" "No, that is your father question." huh? his father was a man that WAS, ran for a lot and stood for a lot and looked far ahead and above of his head but never really seem to stop? Seoul boy thought, of Times Square. Times Square. TIMES SQUARE everyday, out there selling shirts that say "wo-I-NY" and umbrellas when it rained. (and yes, it rained in the city of dreams) soft-lookin' kid hard cash, best friends with the homeless "trash", so-called. "urban campers," "friendly locals!" "fairly loco?" "lotsa cOcO." huh. Seoul boy, working at a Greenwich pharmacy first-time paycheck first-time real job first-time AC first-time man ask me out there, somewhere out there. what? your home. my home? yeah. no. wait what? this is home even gay man knew. even homeless knew. even Seoul boy knew. "best place I am live, 'till die." he said "best place is the New York City." he said
