What do you want
this year
you who read these poems
who are probably
off today because
it’s kind of a holiday
you who woke up late
didn’t sleep well
inspite of guaranteed CBD
you who I met in Austin
40 years ago because
you lived next door
to Ken Sherman
you who live in Antigua
and said we should
all come visit because
you’re already 85
you who sent me a private
message saying most of the time
I don’t know what you’re
talking about
you who fell in love
for the first time at 53
with a man
the Imam assigned you
to marry (and you married him)
you who have been sitting
on the same bench across the street
for so many years now when
I asked you yesterday why you
don’t want to sit on a different
bench, maybe over there, you said
I Like It Here.
What do I want this year? I want Putin to leave Ukraine the fuck alone!
NYC until 1/11.
