Tara and I had an absolutely fantastic trip to NYC last month. This was our first trip with just the two of us, and so it was a huge milestone for me. We were a bit worried about my regulation, but I usually am so captivated by travel that I am generally more regulated while traveling than at home. This was true for this trip, and Tara was absolutely fantastic at helping me manage my small flare-ups. I feel so much more confident in my regulation and traveling capacity now!
I wrote these poems in Central Park and Bryant Park among such pulsating energy and I hope you enjoy.
New York Triptych
Subways go whoosh
Here energy of crowds
Throbs and heaves
And swirls and its updraft
Lifts spirits and dreams
Above its gritty pavement.
Tourists in a big city
Here I am with you
Far from our native habitat
And in such different surroundings
And immersed in unfamiliar crowds
And yet feeling unifying truths
Whirl around the
Corners of each block.
No time for Times Square
Here we rest among restlessness
Among chaos thinly constrained
By surficial niceties
Among trees that are somehow
Still reaching skyward
Earnestly
Despite their rigid and forced and
Contrived
Habitat.

Wow! I loved your poems, Danny! They all have a lot of depth to them. I’ve been to New York and I think that you’ve really captured the city. You’re my kind of poet!
