Many of these poems will be of the city of Schenectady from early 1900 to the present.

Fifth Avenue

“Remember me -
on Fifth Avenue,
I wore that
red and white
scarf?

Remember, the
day you lost it
in the wind -
It kept me warm.

I left a package
I carried from the
grocery store, not,
your worn out shoes -
Italian bread,
baked ham
a bottle of seltzer -
I remember.

The door man
should have noticed…

Why did you move?

I’ve walked Fifth Avenue
for weeks
to track you down…

Did you had to leave
your card board box?"
