A Good Little Girls Zine

Every year I yearn
My palate longs for
for the flavors, the diversity,
the swirls and layers of taste and texture
gentle and full

Every year I yearn
freedom, independence
car-less roaming
leaving the footprints of my thoughts on the concrete sidewalks
serene and content

Every year I yearn
to see the dreamy lines
of lights and brick for miles and miles
to remember the moment my dream came true

Every year I yearn
to be with you
to walk with you
to eat with you
to breathe with you–
the city of all cities
New York, New York
