Dig New York, dig that Flat Iron building … I dreamed my way through a locked door just north of Madison Square Gardens, some moons ago. Long story – I was locked out of an office protected by a combination lock where my luggage was helpfully being stowed by a recent but well meaning ‘friend’.…
“When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do?” “Years go by and I’m here still waiting … Skating around the truth who I am … I know that the ice is getting thin …” “Here is grey and the fires are burning. So many dreams on…
