From LA to Brooklyn
I went to New York City on Friday September 14, 2012 to feature at a poetry event and catch up with my old friend Phillip Martin. After flying into JFK I took a train to Phil’s place in Brooklyn. Shortly after I arrived, we took the train to Manhattan to visit the Whitney Museum. The energy of New York City is kinetic. When we exited the subway we entered the street to a street chef smoking up the sidewalk with a grill full of sausages. Sirens off in the distance accompanied the grill’s sizzle. “Sirens and smoke,” Phil said. “Welcome to New York.”
