THE GIFT

I know this bakery in Brooklyn

off of the F

where the cupcakes are delicious

and cheap

and the coffee is fresh all day long.

We could go there

you and I

and taste the sweetness

together.

On Staten Island

an abandoned fort lays

partially crumbled

where we can sit in peace

watching waves

we never knew.

There are so many things

in this City

that I have discovered

uncovered

recovered from anonymity

that I would like to show to you

share with you.

I want you to have my memories

so when I'm gone

I won't really be,

Will you give me this gift

and let me buy you a cupcake?
