Talking

Talking late into the night,
pissing off the neighbors
(bad attitude seems
to come complimentary
with a six month
lease deal here).
"Say that again...
I want to hear your New York
accent."
Nah, don't go there,
girlfiend
Been there, done that -
Trust me,
you don't want this failed
Italian New Yorker
telling you any more
stories
of Brooklyn summer
weekends
as a kid
buying Italian ices
in Gotti's old neighborhood
under bottomless blue
Coney Island
skies
and deli pickles
so fresh
they won't send them to you
through the mail.

Let's talk about
the weather.
