What I shoulda wrote in the City


I’m drowning like Staten Island
Ferry during Hurricane Sandy, self-
Deprecation not as bad as emotional
Wreckage, Woody Allen knows that
New York has some baggage.

But you got some baggage too,
Look at your eyes. You’re running from
It, she cares so much ‘cos she thinks
That actions make people. I think
She’s wrong. People make people,
Action only makes reaction, meanwhile
Thought poisoned by this charade,
“yes, mom, I’m fine.”

No, you’re not. Lying only prolongs
Everything, and what makes a person
Isn’t action or other people but the
Thoughts inside your head, the feelings
In your heart. I hope you and her
Will work things out, for everyone’s sake.
