In New York,
I think how I need to get my shit
together,
of all the books I need to read
all the pages of fiction
to be written, of
how I haven't felt
creative
in a while.

Carlos and I don't talk much
on the drive down,
but Shawn Elise can tell
we've been together
by the way he's joking.
I do not miss Boston
or Cambridge, 20 Lopez
or the room I share with
mice.
I do not miss anything
at all.
