the potential
to see
so many people
that i love
a visit
and to perform
(but i don’t want to get my hopes too far up
because anything could happen
between then
and now)
hope
July 21, 2020
last night there was a cockroach
poking its feelers out from it’s rooftop hideaway
and at night it caught me by the creeps
but today in the
afternoon brightness
complete with my coffee and sun hat
i’m not quite as creeped
and maybe that’s the lesson for today:
the despair from yesterday
can turn to creativity today
which maybe someday could develop into
flow[tomorrow]
January 24
there’s a feeling in the air
a crispness
but not a coldness
it’s almost 5pm and the sun still hasn’t set
yet
and i feel like this feeling is hope.
there’s music in my ears
music i’ve never listened to before
and if i wanted some obscure Asian cuisine
i just get off at a different stop
on this very subway train,
i’m not saying i’m wholly happy
nor that New York feels like home
quite yet
but
there’s a feeling in the air
and i feel
like this feeling
could
be
hope
