The Neponsit Homes Eternal

The Neposit Homes overlooked Riis Park Beach. Originally constructed as TB wards and later serving as mental wards and finally converted to a home for local seniors. I recalled sunning naked beneath those windows in 1978 with Sharon Mitchell after a long night into the dawn. The old ladies shouting kind words to us in appreciation of youth. The old men just voyeured with a smile, as we fucked under a sheet.

That day Sharon tanned her Neapolitan Skin

My Hibernian flesh was burned to a crisp.

I survived as had the Neponsit Homes, but last year the city had the four buildings razed to the ground.

To make a parking lot

Better to let them join the dunes of the Rockaways.

My memories can picture the Neponsit Homes better that way.
