Insomniac City: New York, Oliver, and me

Part I: Insomniac City

Insomniac City

Sleep: loss

Black crow

O and I

On becoming a New Yorker

Subway Lifer

The summer Michael Jackson dies

A fisherman on the subway

A poem written on the stars

The moving man

For the skateboarders

Part II: On being not dead

The thank-you man

The same taxi twice

The weeping man

On being not dead

On a typewriter

At the skateboard park

A woman who knew her way

Driving a supermodel

Lessons from the smoke shop

A year in trees

On Father's Day

Part III: How New York breaks your heart

My afternoon with Ilona

His name is Raheem

A Monet of one's own

But

Everything that I don't have

A pencil sharpener

Home

Postscript.
