Dear Jersey City,
This is not a poem. It is just a quick note meant to say, as per our love-hate relationship, I’m on the underswing of things. Long story short, it’s time to rekindle the romance.

"Twister"
You were conceived
in the belly of a twister
that danced
beneath Pegasus’ shadow.
Your homestead
left in shackles,
half offered to the western wind
and the rest to the night,
you had no choice
but to be born

But if you ever start to forget why you do it,
or why it matters,
or why it belongs to you -
wait until the moment you experience the newness of it, again.
I have never felt closer to faith than I do right now.
"In Our Wedding Vows, I'd Beg" - Hannah Miet →
that you withhold your scorn when I throw up the contents of our dinner on the rug and close my eyes, to hide from your reaction.
I’d ask for the volume switch on the world, and you’d hum in my ear when it got too quiet.
We’d vibrate. I’d read The New Yorker out loud and you’d make mm-ing sounds while chewing cereal.
We’d pretend to work on weekends and get touchy-feely at barbeques and the...

There is so much amazing poetry happening in and around NJ. Let the NYCers think that their little town is the end-all-be-all of art and let us, quietly, enjoy their folly.
“Talent is what they say
you have after the novel
is published and favorably...”
