Running projection at that porn theater in Times Square

hello dearest Poet there is a lot to be appreciated looking back
experience being one thing can't buy that...

I love this sexy write ❤️

I moved into NYC In late 1970s
A lot of wild times I can look back on and say I did it
Always a city rogue
This was a fun one to write
Lou Reed would have been proud R.I.P.
You should have been there ..

Thx B
❤

This does indeed have a Lou Reed feel to it. Nicely done.

Mac and cheese is forever.

I have so much identity to Lou Reed
Dude blew my fucking mind with realism

Thx Pink

This was wonderful and fascinating. Reminds me of my days growing up as a poor kid. There is a bit of romance and beauty when one comes from the gutter.

Great ink, friend 😁

Indeed there is DC
I miss dingy NYC
Fucking place is homogenized and like a mall now
I can't leave though, city needs me to report its story

Thanks for the nod Mister

I know. ''Clean and proper now'' but there is still a stinky smell lingering around.

Extremely human poem, both good and bad but those labels are impossible to apply here. If you don't mind I would like to nominate this poem for the month. Of course, the last time I did that, it wasn't a complete success so idk, I'll let you think on it for a while. Of course, I do think PG poems are preferred but this poem is so magnificently human....

I would be honored APPS, it's one of my favorite writes and I'd like more people to see it.  I really appreciate you wanting to nominate it.
Fuck PG

THANKS

It was so unique in it's sleazy ways back then.
I remember walking on West 42nd between Broadway and 7th at night thinking this is the end of the world as we know it ....
Long live the upstairs Peep Shows !!
Lou Reed and Andy Warhol told it best

Thx Ted

P.S.  your Times Square poem ROCKED

Times Square  was a frigging toilet back then but you had to experience it to believe it.  I'm glad I did.  All that stuff us gone now.

Appreciate your approval Steve

Listen to Lou Reed's NEW YORK album from 1989 I believe ...

Wish the adult theaters were back so you can enjoy your woman's company in there.  Keep on writing.

That's where all the mailmen used to go on their lunch hours ...

The milkman also went there to impregnated the ladies.

Did they get free popcorn ?

Yes and they also got a blessing in disguise.

Great storytelling, grit and romance (maybe the romance is in the freedom). As a small town kid, I only went there in my mind, but I have a good imagination... (my rural husband calls me a city girl, it's hilarious).

It's true there's no happily ever after... just a chance to keep going and grab bits of happy along the way. Better than the alternative.

Give my regards to Holly

Yeah
You had to see it to believe it back then.
Midnight Cowboy on steroids
Wonderfully depraved and dangerous.
Coulda used face masks back then but you might have missed a suck of a lifetime …

Holly Ruled, went in to become a dental hygienist…

😃😝🤠

You felt like a city cat to me.
Brethren
I dig it

Thanks on this narrative

Take a walk on the wild side.... Awesome visuals, NYC is always a wild surfboard ride through the sea of humanity...

It's all here.  Been here my whole adult life.  It's dirty, chaotic and terribly exciting...

Nice to see you ML

Hey PS

Such a gritty and iconic write. I can feel the edginess vibe throughout the whole piece.
No sugar coating makes it authentic amigo.
Great one!

Living here and having all the music and the city was really run down then so these characters are based on truth.  Wild times I wouldn't trade for anything.  Coming home at 2am on a work night in a taxi with the driver blasting Salsa, I'm going what is that music. I found out.  So much went on musically. I was really into straight ahead hard bop jazz to during period. I could see amazing players in little smokey clubs. I was in heaven  ....

My BIG LIKE ERA

THX ADEL AKA 🔥

Dear PS,

Nothing like it anywhere else on the planet. I thoroughly enjoyed this write and the memories you’ve shared. Gritty, dirty, fantastic! More.
H🌷

Dear H,

Thanks so much

What a time that was in the BIG BAD APPLE

Poem says it all and Lou Reed said it to me, I was the messenger

Stay tuned, more to come

You tell a great story. I have never been to New York, you always sell the apple well. Maybe one day.  You talk of the side of New york that has character, no gentrifed nonsense.
Regards
James

Yeah,  I'm a meat and potatoes dude
I eat organic but don't need to advertise it
New York City is a state of mind
The United Nations is here for a reason.
It's not pretty here bit is iconic
Whatever you want, it can be had for a price.
This was another side of life back when
Portable hand sanitizer would have come in handy...

Appreciate the comment James

Thanks

You really captured the essence of an era in a big city back in those days. Perhaps it’s the music, the scene, but you really brought this to life.

BIG LIKE

Yes Wally
It was like that back then with some story embellishment of course.
Guess all that Lou Reed music I listen too gave me license for my own tales

Appreciate the BIG LIKE
Nice to get them back

Thx W

My bad. I forgot hit RL and will surely vote for poem of the month.

WOW

HONORED WALLY

YOU RULE
