down there I learned
how to drive
pulled by a charge
to the transfer station
how to climb into a backseat
bathed in ruby tail lights
in a parking lot hugged by
the Hudson
yes I am known here
on this bald rock
for my labored breath
never afraid to sit until i'm cold or old
knowing the walk back will be a gallop
every orange plastic ribbon
every pink plastic ribbon
a valentine
<3
