Bad math.
"They said one to two years,"
and there have been two.
They said "four to six months", and there have been six.
And teacher Friedlander He taught me how to subtract.
And the corner store He taught me to add.
And I used only simple math all my life.
And I never needed more than more
and less
for four, for three,
to make the least less...
up to months,
to days,
hours...
in seconds...
...to "not now."

"My father played the piano beautifully."
I loved it...
that he would take me to see him play
in a jazz club
near Patsy's .
And then we went for pizza.
Pizza.
What happened to your dad?
He died.
Like I'm dying.
Not before we go get that pizza.
My father played the piano beautifully.
Where did your dad play the piano?
Breathe.

Yes you can! Keep going!
You are safe.

Don't scratch his belly. He doesn't like it.
And don't feed him too much. He will get fat.
And thank you.
Thank you for bringing me home.
Thank you for helping me to live again.
I had forgotten how the city sings.
You hear it if you remain silent.
It was good to be back.
