Episode Synopsis "Poem: Did I come to say it to New York? "

For Apa, Raul Bonifacio Rubalcava. My dad has been on my mind alot lately and twice in my dreams last week. The last one, I was waiting for him at a hotel to go sightseeing in my favorite city, NYC. I go twice a year (May & late Fall) as a writing retreat and to refuel my artist well. I've never traveled out there with him. But there we were hand in hand, my dad, alive. The last time I was in NY was for my birthday, he walked the streets with me, but I cried out on a Central Park bench alone wishing he was really with me. The only thing I wrote on that trip was this poem. For you dad.
