{conduction of busi/yness, bumming of cigarettes, observations of not having seen in while, shouts & waves from across streets, asking if cool, following in and standing before and checking and exit, vouching to store owner of coolness (the owner concurring), brief touch/pat/rub of/n bull’s eye of chest from…}
*5 dealers in the space of 2.5 blocks*
That’s dense.
That’s 2 dealers deep per block (street not avenue).
And I remembered how hard it was in the beginning sometimes, felt the contrast betwen past and present.
They know me in the neighborhood even when I don’t know (remember, more likely) them.
Huh.

Point of Emotion on Street 2
Sometimes?you know it?the constituents (you will see that I hereby call on both major denotations: parts of (w)hole, and empowered electors and designators) of life snap-click to lockstep, in gay conspiracy. Every other second (represented by a dash) plumpens 40% slowing the whirling of the world by a composite of twenty per. This is when you are most fully and sensibly cinematic as an individual, playing as you do both star/subject and watcher/colorizer, opening channels for goo. And I got goo.

I got goo’ed between rising out of the train and earth, onto the hard path, paced-down and pointless—a value usable in dichotomy not placible here. And here’s what it was.[stet]

Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire” on the iPod. I love that song. And heard bits of my guts hurling its flume through. I saw the people. I felt the desperation of every motion, the casting about and resignation of every bite and breath. His inflect gave me a goose-bumpy tingle and chill. The world and me had a soundtrack on us. My eyeballs raised a mili in the float. And then that girly whooping it up part came and I chucked-up a grim grin. What cheese. I lost to rubble everyatmosfearicthing I just gained. Uh, Bruce, I like you better as Boss than no hollabackgirl. But I thought I might regain the string. And I did. I felt it up another time. And distracted on to other things. Let yourself go, darlin.

“I’m On Fire”
(Bruce Springsteen, Born in the U.S.A., 1984)

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I’m on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things I don’t do
I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh I’m on fire

Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife baby
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
through the middle of my skull

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the
middle of my head
Only you… can cool my desire
Oh, oh, oh I’m on fire
Oh, oh, oh I’m on fire
Oh, oh, oh I’m on fire
