He lay there in a ***** unkept ball, Having surrendered to the pavement. Wisps of stringy brown hair Covered the lines on his sunken in face, His yellow smoked eyes, rheumy and blurred, His vision hazy, like a punch-drunk boxer. Kathleen Harmon sashayed by With nary a glace downward. Once they were equals, When they sat together During high school Chemistry. Time slowed from a Tango to a Waltz, As a drop of saliva Kissed the pavement. Stringing there from his cracked, parted lips. His tangled brown whiskers, Patchy on his cheeks, Had lengthened with the passing days Since their last meeting with a razor. Nikes, Prada, and Gucci Ignore him in passing All sports, fashion, and business meetings; On the clock, and self-absorbed. Dusk marked the sky With a violet crayon Worn to a nub, Then worn to nothing. A sudden thud startled him awake! Then blackened hardwood stunned him as it bit into his ribs! A caustic voice berated his slumber, A navy blue reminder that even surrender was no escape.

Icy
I stand here in the city. The tall buildings tower over me, And the wind cascades around me. The children and people wear fur coats. I wear Gucci. They smell like whiskey and cigarettes, But I pay no attention. I see the lights that the city visions, I hear the cries that the city screams. It was perfect. Because I was here amongst the skyscrapers, And within the atmosphere of life.

New York City: senses
the sun rises every morning, blessing the earth with another day. the moon shines at night, watching over us as we lay at rest. the stars give us our dreams, despite being millions of miles away. they shoot, we wish upon them and they smile down at us. heaven is above us, but hell's fire is what fuels us. we run on sleepless slumber and we keep fighting with broken swords. we breathe until we no longer can, our lungs heaving with the hope that we will survive another day because we're human and we were crafted to survive.

the devil wears Gucci*
Her dreams are packed suitcases, sitting on the driveway, a piece of cloth sticking out, ready to be unfolded and opened, and then carried around. I miss her like how Americans will miss the Obama family. Touching her lips with my fingertips is like rubbing healing ointment onto an open scab. Mom says, “You will always regret it, if you don’t send her a text back.” I dump my phone into the fire, watch the plastic and metal burn, the embers and ash piling up. A black hand reaches for my shoulder, before I wake up in a cold sweat. I open up her suitcases: a blue Grand Canyon blanket, a laminated receipt from a Sushi Restaurant, a deflated basketball, her knockoff Gucci glasses, a worn piece of my heart. I touch my chest. and I feel nothing there.
