New York Is Of, in More Than One Way
Eli Siegel

New York is of in four ways:
It is the New York of 1622, with the Indians around, and its shape then:
which it still has.
It is the New York of Peter Stuyvesant.
It is the New York of James J. Walker.

It is the New York of someone who came here from New Jersey this morning
and left this afternoon.

I’m going to NYC for the first time this weekend.  I’m nervous, big cities put me on edge, but two days should be fun.. and Jon is there to hold my hand while I cross the street.
