A ticket
pulled turned punched
rushing down down down
winds rushing up and around everyone
Astoria two stops
the clocks count up not down
till the next train arrives
Why is that?
piling out
squeezing in
two stops
I'd rather stand
two blocks south
two blocks east
half a block south
keys in hand
book in crook
theres a sticker in the elevator with David Hasselhoff from baywatch
his eyes are scratched out.
more keys
more locks
gates and doors
in and in and in and home
Home!
then the door buzzer
his sister
the landlord
we just met
she's pretty and tall
and smart
twenty-four-years-old
and white (how exotic!)
I'm new to here
to this
to all of it and she has tourist books and directions and maps that her brother asked her to drop by.
what's the bottle for? (big date?)
her father (i've met)
drinks bourbon (i too)
and wants me to try palinka he made (sold!)
she sits
we drink
we talk
we brush against one another several times
and we pretend that it's all just accidental and a matter of course.
of course.
cold tile
wet feet
warm hands and lips
and kisses
and more
and
and
and
and that was my first night in my new apartment.
