touchstones, and memories.<br />
We record these in our mind,<br />

and artwork. Everything<br />
creative that we put out into<br />
the world is a celebration of<br />
life, its dynamics, and growth.<br />

A Classification of Kingdoms<br />
A dusting<br />
Of heavenly bodies<br />
Dress the stone path.<br />
By Evan Burkin<br />
Their bodies<br />
Abandoned<br />
Against the spine<br />
Of her neck.<br />
She feels the avenue<br />
of Apollo’s glance<br />
the splinters of sundarts<br />
flung from his hand<br />
the bite of warmth<br />
baits the skin.<br />
Her breath<br />
A pouring<br />
Of atom-storms<br />
That curl at her collar.<br />
To be crossed<br />
And courted<br />
In the boughs.

Elbows out<br />
crossing the streets<br />
subliminal walls of light and words<br />
walk me to the station<br />
2nd avenue platform calling<br />
any line moving towards Washington Square<br />
I want a pigeon on my head<br />
guerrilla Shakespeare<br />
and beats<br />
from bucket drums to an upright banjo bass<br />
under a cottoned and blue sky
The Shit Piles Up Quickly<br />
By Mitch Weibert<br />
At a particular point in space-time on the long, long road to nowhere, a young<br />
man disappeared. It is almost certain nobody cared much. At most 150 people could<br />
have really cared. What is 150 divided by 8 billion anyway? He had dreams too, like<br />
so many do . . . So many myths for us to get caught up in . . . Just love who you have<br />
and be practical. Not that dreams are bad, but it seems so few of us can really take it<br />
all . . . We just get eaten alive by the world and that’s it. The young man was doing<br />
his best. . . But the shit piles up quickly. And we are never seen again.
Just a little rest<br />
climb the rock<br />
come on<br />
Strip our sweaters and<br />
lay out<br />
the jackets we didn't<br />
need<br />
Central Park<br />
By Daniella Islas<br />
just today<br />
Never seen a more<br />
beautiful sky<br />
in a city<br />
dead center of a<br />
lifestyle<br />
I can only watch from<br />
a rock<br />
heating bodies and a<br />
taunting cool<br />
just today

When I'm cold, I think about<br />
sitting in the subway. My<br />
friends and I ready to brace<br />
ourselves against the wind<br />
when we returned above<br />
ground.<br />
I think about the only time I<br />
truly enjoyed Times Square.<br />
Empty, and walking through at<br />
5 a.m. as the sidewalks were<br />
being swept, my breath visible<br />
in front of me, with the lights<br />
leading us to our beds.
