New York City
How did I write what I wrote?
Settling in.
A folding chair. Notebook open on the table in front of me.
Water bottle set just so. Pen in hand.

Will I just sit here forever,
awkward in silence,
eyes watching the page
like students waiting for the last bell of the day?
An opening phrase flits through my mind
and I pin it down with my pen.
