Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

First Time

With a pretty 
    African - American 
woman
     in a park 
Sex out of Doors! 
   I feel the weight 
of the years upon me now 
But I do have some memories 
Which sustain me 
   when I get rejection letters and 
nobody shows up for tutoring
    Working not far 
from my place on the Lower east Side 
   I relate strongly 
to the peace in the 
    making  
which is coming quite soon
BELIEVE IT
