Personal Ban On New Year’s Eve

January 2, 2022 – 1:38 am

January 1, 2021 – 2:21 pm

From 2014 Last night was New Year’s Eve. My redheaded poetess friend Irene phoned to invite me to a 20-something party in Bushwick. “You’ll be the oldest man there.” Irene was going solo. “Almost three times older.” We were just friends. “I think of you as 16.” She had witnessed my silliness on more than […]
