| �Deep Letters�
Most of the tenants are new. They are not from around here. Raul has been living there for decades. He was locked out of the building. He buzzed every apartment. No one believed him. * In the dense bar room chatter, i have lost the Ave. Let me spend the night with you in your studio. i lost the Ave in the mist of smiling beer bottles and loud 80�s music. Ay, i have lost the Ave. * i�m not afraid of the streets. If i had to sell, i�ll do it. i�m only afraid of the rent selling me. * High speed internet versus a frozen, computer screen ...is my neighborhood versus my neighborhood. * i climbed onto the fire escape. The street light cried, �Why are you rehearsing a poem if it�s too late?� * i fell in love with the alphabet, the alphabet of a woman, and since she is the alphabet, inside her i stayed. * Fire hydrant, my straw was sailing on your waters. Who took it? What will i tell my kids? �ben valentin |
