A Belated Birthday Post: 24 in NYC

 

Thesis statement
Broken heels on pavement
Ham for lunch
Still on for weekend brunch?
10 bucks an hour
No need to shower…

Mild December
Church member
Hummus and wine
Dismissing time
TK lists
The drive to persist
Years that are blurring
Nights on a train with people slurring

New place of work
Guys that lurk
Long summer days
Finding the right phrase
August’s electric air
The persistent struggle to pay cab fare

Late nights
Great nights
Sudden morning lights
Rooftops
Mountaintops
Dirty subway stops
Graduation
First vacation
Ongoing narration
Flirtation
Starvation
Absolute liberation
Self-inflicted obligation

Always met with 
 quiet restoration.   

Now here’s to being 24
And knowing there’s still
so much
more.
