Text poems by RAYMOND LUCZAK INOCULATIONS in memory of Bruce Hlibok (1960-1995) Funny how much New York's changed since you died. Rents have gone way, way up. Brooklyn is shockingly hip and unaffordable. Even artists starting out are getting out. Sleeping on a sofa in the living room for over a thousand dollars a month has become just too much. So few mom and pop shops are left. New York's a shopping mall turned inside out. Name a chain store, and it's there. They are the only ones who can afford the rent. Greed's become the latest sickness. I don't speak in tongues anymore. I speak metaphors now. It's safer. Just in case I get accidentally infected with what brought you down in the end, not the AIDS thing but that other plague of inconsolable rage you'd felt with everyone, including me. The deaf community held you back with their glances bordering on pox every time you mounted a new play. Didn't help that you came from a prominent deaf family. Today no one seems to remember you. Are we all so easily infected to forget? When you died, I never thought I'd leave New York, the city that you and I loved, but I have. Even now my hands can hear you calling me back.
