Love in an Elevator

May 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I met him in an elevator, of all places. He’s an artist. He’s from Italy. He’s 30. He somehow managed to wink at the lies I told an old man about being a molecular physicist and work up the courage to wander around Chelsea with me. To tell me about his art. And he emailed.

I have yet to decide whether or not to post it as an Insightful Email from a Rejected Suitor.

Perhaps I shall sleep on it and consider posting it next week. Perhaps I will let him take me for wine.

Change of ‘Apt

May 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment

So we walked out on the building on 8th avenue. It was surrounded by slow-moving fat-assed tourists gawking at Columbus Circle from over their floppy Sbarro slices.

Instead, I find myself moving to an apartment in Stuy Town. If I was any more east I’d be in the river. But if I had to deal with anymore mice in this tiny little bedroom uptown, I’d throw myself in.
