The Smell of Fire on a Thursday Afternoon

It’s just another Thursday afternoon

Working at my desk

On Park Avenue

in New York City

Grand Central Terminal is to the South

Park Avenue Armory is to the North

To the East is the United Nations

To the West is Rockfeller Center

I’m just sitting here

Typing on keys

Smelling the all-consuming fire

That no one else smells
