Stuyvesant,
in the bad part of the city, broken,
where heroin has been the same price
for fifty years, ten dollars to dream
in soft comforting arms, no matter
what and whom you have lost,
after a few turns and a few miles,
connects right to my house.
In my dream, addicts come here,
and I sell them my little illusions
for their pain.
