Welcome to The Cahokian... A thousand years ago Cahokia — across the Mississippi from what is now St. Louis — was one of the biggest cities in the world. Now it's an empty green spot next to the highway. I'm a middle-aged gay man living in New York City, center of the world, future footnote on somebody's future map. Welcome to the new world.

Could'a Would'a and Should'a
I found this. On the subway I think. Years ago. Words from an anonymous poet/crazy person. It's hand-written on the back of a Harlem restaurant flyer.
Could'a
Would'a
and Should'a
No one ever stops to think
That maybe their timing was right
Being any place else could'a been
In the path of a speeden car
So feel lucky where
You are
