It was nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. Nice to meet a... nice to meet a real poet.

Glow. When I wake up earlier than you, and you are turned to face me, face on the pillow and hair spread around, I take a chance and stare at you, amazed in love and afraid that you might open your eyes and have the daylights scared out of you. But maybe with the daylights gone, you'd see how much my chest and head implode for you, their voices trapped inside like unborn children fearing they will never see the light of day. The opening in the wall now dimly glows, it's rainy, blue and grey. I tie my shoes and go downstairs to put the coffee on.

You OK? Well, since you asked, no, not really. My mother-in-law is moving in. The cat got diagnosed with cat diabetes. And the medicine, you know, it's all so expensive. And now, my daughter started taking violin lessons and I'm losing my mind with the sound of that. What can I say, Paterson? - Oh, sorry. - Oh, just my burden, I guess. - My particular burden. - OK. I'll see you tomorrow.

Excuse me. Are you OK here, all alone? I'm fine. I'm just waiting for my mom and my sister. She's upstairs, in that building over there. Do you mind if I sit down till your mom comes down? Sure. - Yeah? - Yeah.

What do you think's inside? Uh, inside the secret pie? Uh, I don't know. Fish? No, not fish, silly! - Want me to tell you? - Uhh, yes, please. OK. Cheddar cheese and Brussels sprouts.
Paterson

- Seriously? - Yeah, baked into a pie. Doesn't it sound delicious? You love Brussels sprouts and you love Cheddar cheese. I do, yeah. No, that sounds very original.

Do you like Emily Dickinson? I do, yeah. She's one of my favourites. Awesome, a bus driver that likes Emily Dickinson.

It's all warmed up for you, Donny. All used up's more like it.

Look, Lou Costello has got to be the most famous person from Paterson. Yeah, probably, yeah. I mean, he... he's got that statue and he's got his own park. Right, I mean, Alexander Hamilton has a statue, others got statues but not their own park! Hell, even Fetty Wap don't have no park.

Secret notebook. - Oh, you're a poet. - Yeah. That's great. - Would you like to hear one? - Sure, sure. It doesn't really rhyme, though. That's OK. I kind of like them better when they don't. Yeah, me too. OK. This one's called "Water Falls". Two words, though, like that.

Laura, what's all that flour and stuff for? For my cupcakes, remember? Saturday is my turn on the baking booth in the farmer's market. I remembered this morning that, oh, my God, it's the day after tomorrow.

I wonder where Bud Abbott was born? Uhh, that I know. Jersey, also. Asbury Park. Uh, 1895, maybe. - You knew that? - Oh, hell, yeah, man. I know a lot of shit about a lot of shit.
