Belligerent Poetry

Untitled #07

five hours back from
two days in queens
friends in the city share an apartment
new york is so many things to so many people
some of them now to me
more than anything it will always
be memories of those weeks in july of `01
seven of us on a porch in astoria
watching the lifetimes of people pass by
it turns out after all
it`s not so much where you are
as who you`re with
and life`s still a mystery
some of which i`ll spend
again on a bus.
