    The Subway Train Heading Downtown

    April 13, 2023 / 2 Comments

    It was an ordinary Wednesday morning as I boarded the subway train heading downtown. I could see those around me with their lost hopes and broken dreams, like the remnants of a yellow circus that left behind stakes and broken ropes that lay scattered on the muddy ground. The ties that bound them twisted and tangled, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight lost in the daydream of my minds eye. I’m no stranger to bad poetry, but I like to think I’m also capable of being kind, especially on a morning like this. The other passengers on the train seemed to be in business suits and coats,…

    The World I Came Into Has Gotten Too Scary

    December 13, 2022 / 2 Comments

    My earliest memories are of being a small child sitting on the marble floor of our Greenwich Village apartment. There was something comforting in the coolness of that floor, in its immovability, in its seeming lack of opinion or judgment. It was a respite from the complexities of life in a large city with multiple families living in upstairs apartments under one roof. All my difficulties felt as if they could be put aside for a few moments in that little corner, next to the refrigerator. I could take comfort in the simple, repetitive task of sorting and stacking colorful blocks, ignoring the struggles in the wider world around me.…

    Meeting Mitch In New York City

    April 4, 2022 / 4 Comments

    March 16, 2022 Today I took a trip to New York City to show Apartment 2 of my childhood home to a new tenant, [name withheld]. She is a wonderful woman, an actress from Holland, who is a friend to [name withheld] who have rented an upstairs apartment from me for many years. She immediately fell in love with the apartment and was more than happy to give me the asking price, and to my amazement, she signed the lease agreement on the spot! Later in the afternoon, I decided to meet up with my friend Mitch in Brooklyn. Mitch had some time to spare that afternoon, and the plan…
