park ave s / 4th ave / lafayette st / worth st / south st

5.33 miles

eyes heavy
been selfish lately
anxious for

the magnolias are blooming

a child stares, mouth agape
heart sinks
ears are blind

i want to believe in god so dearly
but today
i am lost.

the sights and other senses: ping pong; a balding man watching tik toks; a line outside of foot locker; a line outside of the union square park bathrooms; a mass around a potential celebrity couple; puffs of smoke; a house less couple; nuts for nuts; the chrysler; the back side of nypl; sweaters; shorts; chinese grandpas playing a board game intently; a chinese grandpa wearing a maga hat; vaping; black spiky hair; a little boy with his tongue out; a boy explaining to his mom how half of the earth is light and half of the earth is dark at a given moment.

i listened to the sun set as i watched the sun set.
