Lost In Space
Lost In Space
Missed Connections in Brooklyn
1
Smartly dressed with a smattering of
high end, handcrafted
amenities
we arrived on the 121st floor and
were immediately surrounded
by the unsurpassed luxury
of a 360 degree
view
standing in front of a shiny new
refrigeration appliance
we reached for
2 bottles of artisanal handcrafted
small batch
beer
and winded our way down to
the fully appointed
yoga studio
where we bent our bodies
and stretched our
minds
and contemplated how
we got so lost
in this high cost of
living

What if we went out west and opened a shack
that had the best home made
organic grass fed beef
jerky in town
and I told jokes and tap danced, while
you cooked the most unbelievable
burgers over hot
coals
and we sold them for
only a buck
Her Two Cents
I have a reoccurring fantasy about running a small cafe in the desert highlands of western New Mexico. It’s all in my mind: the faded adobe building, the cooler of beer and soft drinks, a pot of pozole simmering on the stove, a German Shepard lying in the shade by the door, small tables covered with cheap plastic and paper napkin dispensers. One of those places where the 360 degree view is still and quiet until you see the dust kicking up in the distance and wonder who might be driving by.
