Batteries for my discman at the deli, a newspaper, coffee. all that before i even get on the train to work.
the wet dog smell of summer is here walking down e. houston. last nite all the girls in their tank tops & heels having smokes on the sidewalk, talking into cell phones. i know he's so cute i have to talk to him. i just had to get out tonite call me later, k?
That smoky sausage good smell leaning into the bad trash smell right after i pass katz's deli.
walking on the north side of houston there are more trees and shrubberies and then past the building that just fell over 2 summers ago. it was a surprise to everyone.
walking past the new cozy restaurant on 1st where i see a girl in a pink tee shirt pouring merlot.
up to bowery and there is an asian guy in glasses dragging a cello on wheels. which reminds me of yo-yo ma which reminds me of hearing j.s. bach being played by a yellow-haired bearded man at the L Train subway station on 14th on my way to my drum lesson on saturday morning. made my eyes well up and the hungover punk guy with holes in his pants sitting next to me sighing and sharing a smile before the train came.
nyc icy still is the best place for a treat open till midnite.
i had chocolate chocolate chip last nite with yokoling after we went to check out a strange song slam at bowery poetry club. strange in that the performers were judged with numbers. it said "slam" i guess i should've expected that. we didn't play just watched for a while and i ran into jill and jessica too and it was a round of so good to see you cheer catch up sipping on a gin and tonic the perfect summer drink.
then yling and i walked for a while and had good talk time. i hadn't realized how sedate i've been lately sitting at a desk. my feet like the pink sneakers and wanted to take long strides ahead of my body.
sometimes it takes a while to burn off the stench of the workday. last nite around 11 i felt like myself again, heading home to my boy and my cat.
