this and all the rest.
perhaps it is that the heart beats faster here than elsewhere

hello NYC. maybe not the suits and the glass and the height and the cards, but the music and the rockets and the late night dancing mindlessness in chinese basements

nothing seems real, not the sights of places already seen so many times, not the places and the people left behind, not the bagels or the cockroaches or the hot, hot sunday sun, not the tornadoes and the music, not the bridges or the books or the tourists that look at me like i'm meant to be here, not the film sets or the cat markets or the singers on the subway, not the stories behind people's faces, not the broad streets or the roads that are hilly like rollercoasters might be, not the excitement and the confusion and the people and the noise and the unreality of reality.

not even the memories. berlin and kent and london.

i wanna make you happy
i wanna make you feel alive
let me make you happy
i wanna make you feel alive at night



it could be so much, it could be rum and sweat and memories floating in the light of the red sun and it could be love and it could be home and so many things that could be right and are and some things are in cuba or puerto rico or maybe even budapest and lifting the city to Heaven which exists and is everywhere about us but summer is such an odd place and this place here is nothing more, even drenched in pink light it is nothing more and what is still to come and what is still to go and why am i still running i dont know.
