NaPoWriMo - Poem 30

Items Found While in Graduate School

New parts of my heart

A Harvard graduate who wished he went to Palo Alto the first summer of Facebook
A streetside Henna artist
An innertube of emotion around my hips

Several ledes
A couple solid nut graphs

Two neighbors

The 6.50 lunch special at The Heights
The underlying racism and oppression of redlining that led to the subprime mortgage crisis
The lack of fresh produce in East Harlem
Scallion tofu on a whole wheat bagel

Stories in Flushing and Jackson Heights, Queens

Lynda.com
Chocolate chip cookies from Brad's Cafe
Frida's on Amsterdam
AP Style

A freelance video gig for SmartMoney.com

Deeper layers at certain moments

And other things
I'm sure I'll know
In time

Congrats on 30 in 30. I discover what happened at any given time a minimum of ten years after the fact.
