Unwelcome Celebrations
A volley of gunshot woke me
from my dream of free-falling
from a New York City skyscraper.
My first night sleeping upstairs,
after the bathroom remodel project
(mostly) wrapped up yesterday.
Once awake, reasonably confident
that no one had died, the sweet
darkness of night interrupted by
a single trajectory of sparkling light,
and a house-shaking boom.
Note to self: South-East section
of 18-19th block of Grove St, and
to let Terry know. I’m fighting
for my right to sleep upstairsin my own house
