Raining and Edite and I still went to Long Island City
Edite came to town her bus late
marathon and rain and still we went
to Long Island City for Denise's refugee paintings
Miriam Schaer's haunting dolls
still we went to Long Island City after the art we had
a good dinner a very good dinner Peruvian chicken Peruvian ribs
white sangria with floating fruit we told
stories about the last 35 years so many stories
how friends know one another
and how life is often circling, and then good food.
