Neew Yooork

This song keeps comin back to me at different times, and every time, it feels good. Its like a mental motion picture in my head of this song in all different incarnations. Last night on way home, woman sittin on the stoop singing it in her acoustic, soft slow kinda way. The original on youtube. Peeps in the club beltin it out. MTV music awards version. Its uplifting.

me, the bum and the chick

i had a great day today

went to six flags after bout 15 years!

was fun

then went out

smoked a dubieous

strolled

watched

got some mcds

and headed home

sitting happy and content on the 7 train, in came a female bum

next, i was just struck by the generosity of people

an old dude helped the bum and her loaded shopping cart into the subway

next stop

chick sits next to me

bum strikes up a convo with me

and then turns her attention to the chick

she noticed that she had her head down in her hands

i had not noticed

(had my tunes on, bee boppin (in my head) all the way....)

i felt bad

the bum kinda pointed to her and guestured to check on her

i did

she said she was ok

looked like she was havin a bad night

i got off at my stop

thinking back that bum comforted me to know that this girl would get home safe

she was lookin out

she is valued

i am afraid we will soon get desensitized to people here

we should actively fight that keep human connection, and concern and generosity alive

Apple Pie

the lady at mcdonalds gave me two apple pies

i think she likes me
