We Are New York

Drippin’ On Jupiter

See you...reach out, arms extended. Comprehension, intensive-ly comprehensive-ly swimming deep-ly beneath the surface. Refractions bend by the dimension of this world. Perpetual And Neglecting that I also live among the others above the clouds, passing beyond the stratosphere also living on land.

The one before the nine that was in ninety-four. No “cap” and like Joe said “lean back.” “Snap your fingers” you don’t feel that pain no more. Every time you look up to make you “stop and stare,” a republic that held one ideal. Yet, we desire destruction in the name of a Probable Extended Appreciation for Concern over what is or isn’t; power struggle. Appetite un-relinquished, detriment to our society. We just need love and understanding; a place like a “big apple?”

Here’s something to feed your appetites. My brothers and sisters I hold dear to me. Bet it be the same for you. Yes? Then why-be-it, the most difficult task? For you to show me that same respect? Why, when my actions show you I mean no threat. Is it a sign of weakness? No?! I see, I see so many questions but not too many answers. Ok, I take care of you as I would my brothers and sisters. See me as that before you show me you as this and that.

I show you the utmost respect because that is me. “All of me loves all of you” only real men and women can say. So, lets be beyond legends and bring forth a new and respectful generation. “It’s ok to not be ok,” to be responsible, respectful, educated, sensible, sensitive...I could go on. But, it’s what I mean. Grow with me. Nothings “picture perfect” let’s be ok with our disagreements. We are New York...all love and respect. Feed off that energy...see what I see, as I see a lot of you in me, as you’ll eventually see a lot me in you.

About the Creator

Jordan Usher

Delve into the repertoire that is my memories, sickening the thought you won’t remember me. Ready the words I lay comfort and positivity as much as possible for future selves. I leave you; me in pieces as my energy flow throughout you.
