Hello, New York

I am finally here like I told you I would be so many years ago. Poor baby, you have waited so long for me to arrive. I am sorry that I didn't come sooner, your misery is so beautiful. Crowded on everyone's face, behind their drumbeats in the subway. The misery is delicious. Rats that crawl in spaces full of people. The air is heavy, and hot with sins. You, New York, have so many places to show me today. Your fingers laced around my neck. My feet are burning as I step and dance for you. Your skies are so far away and farther away as I climb up this cliche 104 floors, 1860 steps to heaven. And I'm gone again in your presence. New York, you sexy bitch on the corner. You motherfucker. I love you but you know I can't stay too long. Here, in your brown skin tinted poverty. You make me helpless and lost in your small cloudy skies, tall glass buildings. I will explore you and be done with you until the next time we meet. I might write you another letter one day to tell you how much I didn't miss you.


Sincerely,
This Bitch from Cali
