Welcome to NY
When I first moved to NY
I was looking for a place to rent
and picked up a Brooklyn Rail at a cafe.
I opened it on the L Train
and there was a poem by Cedar Sigo
in which I recognized one of my own lines.
I shook my head and smiled.
Cedar had "borrowed" one of my lines.
It was a perfectly New York School thing to do.
The line was perfect for the occasion too.
"How beautifully the brakemen allow the blood through."
I felt as if I had been given the key to the city.
