This was my very 1st apartment in NYC. The bathroom was down the hall, across from the laundry room. There was a pay phone outside my room, where I could hear other tenants making homesick calls, setting up dates, and trying to find other apartments and/or jobs. The sink was next to the desk and a tiny closet was next to the twin bed. There was no air conditioning. There was no fridge. Males were not allowed to come upstairs, even if they were my best friends or my visiting grandfather. There was loneliness and fear and exhaustion in that room. Some bad poetry happened and some great reading, too. I shot so many photos on film then. I was broke all the time. But there was also so much love and excitement and possibility. Every damn day. It was my first alone home and I loved it. 🗽#ArtBoss #websterapartments #tbt #throwbackthursday #newyorkcity #nyc #manhattan #summer #writersofinstagram #writersoninstagram #yalit
