Alpine Hotel

Back from Beantown
On the run
Hot sheet flop house
Alpine Hotel
Lofty ambitions
Columbus Circle
Adjacent to
Huntington Hartford Museum
Now Museum of Art and Design
First night
Dark basement
Opened window
Looking at elevator shaft
Next day
Moved to better room
Eventually
Long term resident
Got the penthouse
Pound of pot
Good stuff
Under the bed
Subsidized gallery job
Didn't pay much
Bruno the boss
Brute not noted for
Generosity
Loved the view
Waking over
Central Park
Stretching out
Urban verdant
So rare in
Manhattan
Like Lower East Side
Where I moved
303 East 11th Street
Alphabet City
Planting roots
After transient
Living out of
Suitcase
Pie in the sky
Down from high
