1 Train, 66th Street Station: May 14th, 2014
I’ve been shy lately. Roger looked super creative and interesting – it was easy to ask him. Sure enough he wrote two poems, and would have written more, I think, but time’s up when it’s your station. He teaches dance at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.
After a long day
I am on the one train
white, tight, to show the
body.
Why I dance?
I used to love it
then it stopped loving
me. Now what drives
me is the money.
money for food,
money for rent,
money for family
money for fun with me!
