2 Train to Utica Avenune and back, March 27, 2015
He’s Facebook stranger. He makes me laugh, so I broke the “law” (my own) and asked if he’d ride the train with me and write. By Friday we both knew I was going to be on the Brian Lehrer show at 11:40AM. So we wrote hard, to nowhere. Here are four of his poems. Brian Lehrer played the second one on the air. He a writer and lyricist, soon to be host of the first television show filmed in a NYC lobby ;).
A special thank you to Brian Lehrer, Producer Megan R., Producer Zoe, Jason E. and the staff and listeners of WNYC.
