As soon as I
exited the subway car
and emerged onto the sidewalk
I knew
As soon as I
walked down those Harlem streets
125th, 130th, 135th
I knew
As soon as I
reared the corner
and jumped the concrete steps
one and two and three
I knew
As soon as I
tapped the buzzer
and whisked through the door
1-1/1000, 2-1/1000, 3-1/1000
I knew
As soon as I
crept up the stairwell
heart beating out of control
I knew
As soon as I
spotted him at the top
and looked into his face
sweaty forehead, flickering lashes, darting eyes
I knew
As soon as I
sashayed into the room
and peeped her in the kitchen
I knew
As soon as I
hurried into the powder room
razor on the sink, familiar scent of pink
I knew
As soon as I
reemerged from the lieu
fully composed
I knew
As soon as I
plopped down into a cherry wood
tension lingering, tempers rising
I knew
I’d somehow been lead astray
Sunday Brunch was no ordinary day.
