my decision to move to new york wasn’t based on a strong desire to live there.
it was because i was ready for something new. ready to be somewhere else.
it was a time of things coming to an end for me
a band i’d been in for years. a relationship i’d been in for years
going far away felt like the thing to do
moving to new york had a certain weight to it
in the months leading up to the move i asked people i knew if they had any friends
who lived in new york. most didn’t.
i was able to collect four names and numbers which i wrote on a piece of paper
and put in my wallet
when i got to new york i called and eventually met with the four people.
three of them i’ve lost touch with
the other one i married
