Good Night Kiss

 

He walks up Central Park West

to 66th Street , turns left toward

Columbus Avenue , stops

at the coffee shop on the corner,

sits at the counter, eats two scrambled

eggs, toast, coffee, small orange

juice, pays, crosses Lincoln Center

Plaza, to the opera house,

enters the stage door, takes

out his flute, practices for an hour.

When the orchestra enters

they rehearse until lunch when

he returns to the coffee shop,

eats a tuna fish sandwich.

After the afternoon rehearsal,

he takes the Subway back

to Queens , gets out at Continental

Avenue and walks three blocks

to his flat where he cooks

a hamburger for dinner. He eats

while watching the news,

reads the news paper. Later

he lifts the photos in the black

frames on his dresser--one

his wife, the other his six year old

son, kisses them

before going to bed.
