I find myself living in Heartbreak Efficiencies
at the corner of Governor & West 114th St.
six units and no doorbells
but what do I need a doorbell for?

I checked in and now I can't check out
it seems
I guess my life is in transition
from what kind of a life
to what other?
from one kind of a life
to another
