Tonight
June 1, 2025
Standing
At
The intersection
Of Myrtle and Broadway
Bed Stuy
Brooklyn___
Once
A while ago
Hell on earth
The center of the K-2 trade
At least a hundred ODs
2024
Fentanyl
Crack
Everything
And worst___
At night
Dark
Bad things
Crime
Under the J and M tracks
For years
At the B54 bus stop__
The old woman
Wild haired
Wizened
A friend to the lost
Wanda
Buying
Stolen goods
Selling
K2
To
Druggies
All a threat to the public calm
One night
Wildeye threatened me
With a full beer bottle
I cautioned him
Against the waste
A full bottle
Broken glass
He saw reason__
Then one day
2025
This year
All gone
The drug market
All gone
Now
A flower stall
Run by Fernanda
She speaks no English
The scent of flowers
Fresh flowers
On the first day
Of the second half
Of 2025
A miracle
Hell now heaven
Then again this is New York City__
Ain't it?
