      Three Poems

      War is coming but my neighbors can’t believe it. I ring their doorbells and tell them: maybe not this May, but next June at the latest. They stare straight past me, at the maze of lawns, the sprinklers, a kid on a bike hurling the Globe onto porches.

      Famed Broadway director and choreographer Jericho Taylor discovers and falls in love with fresh-from-the-Midwest triple threat Billy Lake and places the young man at the center of his Flash Mobs, which become a viral sensation. The seemingly spontaneous Flash Mob dance events are designed to counter the public's fear caused by a string of terrorist bombings in the New York City area.

      I knew it wasn’t a good idea. I knew it wasn’t the right thing to do. But, I did it anyway. I missed him. I had the key. I was just walking by his building and thought about the key, that worn metal riding around in the front pocket of my backpack. When I saw him at the bar, it was awkward. I told him I still had his key, but not with me. That was a lie. He said not to worry about it, but I said I’d drop it off the next time I was down in the Village, and he said fine. I knew his tone. He said fine to get rid of me, to end the uncomfortable conversation.

      So, I was there, walking by. I remembered the key and pulled it
