When you’re in New York
Background
This is another one of my poems that was published in my high school art and literary magazine in 1988. Enjoy!
Anything Can Happen
8:05… Waking up,
Getting Dressed,
Eating breakfast.
8:36… Leaving home,
In a rush,
Catching a bus.
9:45… Getting off the bus,
Running through Port Authority,
Catching a subway train.
9:57… It’s getting late,
Running down Chambers Street,
Breathing irregular.
10:01… Late for work,
Looking at bank,
Gasping for air.
10:01… Falling on ground,
With gaping mouth,
Dying.
10:02.. “CUT!”
“OK folks, that’s a wrap.”
-Donald Raab
