    Wish I could have been on that week with you all. Nice to see Eileen Myles getting poetic.

    I dk if we can stop the tide of slurpy sludge but it’s seeping into the arteries and capillaries of this ailing city. Now there’s one on amsterdam in the ’90s up in my neighborhood. When’s the next bodega walk? I’m in!
