New York Is
This post is especially apropos to my new book “My Piano Hands: A Flash Memoir” https://mypianohands.com, coming out June 2020

New York is:
A state
A city
A harbor
A county
A cheesecake
A cut of steak
A baseball team
A football team
A hockey team
A basketball team
A stadium
A newspaper
A daily
A magazine
A book
A song
A historical novel
A film
A ship
A typeface
A TV star
A pinball machine
A state of mind
But for me, New York is . . .
The
place
where
I
was
conceived
but
not
born.
Loved perhaps, but not kept.
Transported from in utero
To the left coast
To await my fate.
What happened???
I was lucky.
I was adopted.
