letter to NYC

so how are you
in that great city. are you well?
is your room okay,
can you see the park,
the Empire State Building from
your window?
what have you done
since arriving,
how many plays, how many
walks to the museums,
through Central Park
have you done?
did you find
a book to read at the Strand?
do the taxis still race like
madmen down the thoroughfares?
is it safe?
tell me dear,
tell me all.
is the Hudson the color of
blue steel along
the west side?
is Katz's Deli still open
on Houston?
leave some fun for me.
i'm on my way.
i won't be long.
