Try To Remember The Time In September
Opening
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I jumped off a
bridge and landed on top of a slow moving freight train leaving The South
Bronx. The boy I was wanted freedom.
I leaped the Grand Canyon wide spaces of the cargo cars. I
ran and leaped from car to car. I leaned forward as if I were on a surfboard
when the train rose above the trees.
Freedom was the song running through my hair.
And only the sun was brighter than my joy.
What happened next was unbelievable
Almost Heaven. West Virginia.
As I coughed blood in a hospital of strangers, I journey the
better angel of my nature, to the boy I was who wanted to travel beyond Bronx,
beyond Earth.

Is that God, wondered the boy I was while being potty
trained in front of an eye on a TV set. It was the time of the first space age
president who said we go to the moon not because it’s easy but because it’s
difficult.
I wanted to know more about God when I took a screwdriver to
the back of the TV that revealed The Wizard Of Oz.
I saw a beautiful city made from glass tubes that glowed
with the color of golden amber.
How does it all work? Who dreamed this? I wanted to be part
of this amazing invention.
I crawled into a TV set discarded in a backyard and looked
out to a neighborhood of burnt out buildings. The small screen called
Television was a vast wasteland believed the first president of The Federal
Communication Committee.
I saw a cowboy from Death Valley Days ride out into The
South Bronx as President Ronald Reagan who promised to rebuild a town for the
working poor and those that looked for work. In a heat wave, I walked for hours
to prevent homelessness from visiting my disabled mother. A borrowed Android
accompanied me to record my journey for whomever it may concern in the future.
Moving forward, I went back in memories.
On the street was a Newsweek magazine with my birthday. On
the cover was a picture of a boy with eyes closed in dream mode. It’s what I
have in the way of a baby picture of myself. With another discarded item on
Global Warming, I found art later used in a collage for a page on Facebook I
would call Homelessness Made Easy For Dummies
I popped out of a dumpster across my second home called
Public School 161.
I had the wood to build my time machine for the science
fair.
I also built a shoeshine box to set shop between a newsstand
and The White House, an Italian American supermarket on Prospect Street.
I made money to buy wires and mini light bulbs to be put
together with a soldering pen.
I was 7 years old with dreams of being a scientist.
At the age of 5, I invented a space ship made from a paper
cup before creating a sleek ship made from construction paper and copper
fasteners.

I put it together with another discarded item on Global
