CHINESE TAKE OUT
on a bench in MacDonald Park, Forest Hills Queens
10/12/25
returning places people aren’t
on street corners no one owns.
*
the elevator hides my barbershop,
the renamed boba creperie, new
*
awning on the patio where we–
couldn’t they have let us know?
*
but our rules forever stay the same. turn
off the lights for your goodnight kiss.
*
look up: snowstorm marquee, moonlight king.
when you open your eyes, I’ll open the
*
(door)
