It's the end of summer, and I took a few days off. 

Last weekend our board members Joe and Rachel hung out with me in New York.

And here are some thoughts on my last trip to New York.

I Heart New York.

Like the big girl  
with that little tattoo  
intended to be a beauty mark.  
More  
slosh  
than jiggle.  
You made me look.

I Heart New York.

Like the groomed and gorgeous  
gay couple,  
in the sweaty subway.  
Tight, taught, toned  
and quarrel.  
Holding their little yorkie  
named  
"Killer."

I Heart New York.

Like those nose rings  
big and small.  
They say  
I am a radical revolutionary  
upsetting the patriarchy,  
just like  
all those  
pigs  
and  
cattle  
do.

I Heart New York.

Like the clouds of the  
devil's lettuce  
wafting through  
Hell's Kitchen  
that gets the Salvation Army Officer  
high  
before he reaches  
Times Square.

I Heart New York.

Like the  
Costa Rican  
Restaurant manager  
who misses his family  
and just needed to talk.  
He is a French teacher,  
slinging pizzas.  
Free Tiramisu.

I heart New York.
