List of Things to Do in New York City

Tango with Basquiat’s ghost
Eat pizza with a pigeon below West 4th Street, where the rats grow old, and swap stories of all the times we’ve fallen in love
Grow a garden of nasturtiums on a rooftop belonging to someone I’ve never met before
Learn Spanish
Learn French
Dig a hole somewhere in Prospect Park and plant love poems
Crash a movie set
Go to the library and read as many books as I can in one day
Fall asleep beneath a cloud shaped as Manhattan
Greenwood Cemetery. Find Basquiat. Dance with him one more time
