In memory of J G


If we’d sprinted down three flights, approximation

of kindergarteners hand-in-hand, the Bowery,

canopy of planets, stars, nebulae above, unnamable

cluster, we would have been specks in time, yes,

but stochastic, impetuously upending the night.


This is code for what I want to say:

If our great bear hearts had agreed to run, what

a startle of life we might have made.
