Vanity's Fair

The stiletto was making me sick to my stomach--

a staunch fear of heights had done me in;

at my own expense

It had every intention of becoming the first and last bookend

of Park Avenue

of Lexington

with the empire state of mind--as they say

It was impossible not to do a double take

There were footprints to be made;

innumerable, in fact

Escapism proved to be stitched with a kind of anticipation--

manifest--

a golden rule--

the skyline enlightening

All was as it should be--

in the city
