At Bowery and Bleeker

This should really be an Idea Province, but since this is New York-related, I'm putting it here.

If I wrote a song, it would be about a made-up intersection in New York - like Delancy and Houston or Broadway and Ave. D - and what life was like there.  Obviously life would have to be pretty crazy there, since these intersections are impossible. Unfortunately, my mind doesn't seem to express itself in a song type of way. I can rhyme, but not in the way that makes good songs. I've only written one serious poem, and even that is more of a short story than a poem.

By the way, if I get even a single comment asking me to post that poem here, I will. Because so far The Atlantic Monthly and the New Yorker haven't responded. And I sent it to them over a year ago.

poem or bust.

Let's see the poem. Then, give me your intersection and couple other things you want in the song and I'll see what I can do. It could be a big hit for Dana if she'll hire a trombone player and a vibest.
