UNLICENSED NEW YORK

Your application will be processed yesterday

Somewhere in the city there is a building that handles the parts of New York that do not fit on the form. Apply for a miracle at the intake counter. Appeal your rent to a jury of pigeons. Stand on the brass eye in an apartment that is bigger than its lease. Enter a universe through a deli refrigerator. Wash gravity. Open a suitcase that has a whole neighbourhood packed in it. Walk down a hallway of appeals that opens on the same hallway, four deep. Click a water tower and the borough folds over your head. Chase a bench. Play the noise. Walk onto an eye and watch 196 scattered pieces become one witness. In the landlord's coat pocket is the actual museum, live, at one to seven. Then the exit interview, where you are approved to remain impossible, and the form sends you back to the start.
