arrived into LaGuardia
meandered through Queens
hit walls of traffic
spoke a little Spanish with my cab driver,
25 years he's been here, big city, he says, where you from?
Chicago!
big city, too, he says. not as big as New York, but big.
but, where you from?
Ahhhh, Wisconsin. Born and raised.
But, your asking about Peru. I have family from and in Peru. Lima.
Going there for a wedding in August!
aaaaahhhhh, Peru?! ceviche! mmmmmm, the ceviche!
Claro, the ceviche es muy rico...
i pay George, thank him for the service, as my bags get bellhop-ed into the lobby.
no keys, no map in hand
New Big City, ripe and juicy
carousel doors leaving me spun and hungry
until, my love pushes through the amusement of the ride we took to arrive
and
calms
me
back
to
planet
new york,
new leaf.
namaste, NYC. let's be kind to each other, new lover!
