birthdays everywhere




sometimes in the winter my romantic relationship with new york wears thin and gets crackly, like heavy boots on salt-sidewalks -no snow to be found

on sunday i had the opportunity to take a stroll down canal street - where arguably you can find anything in this great land; certainly guns and designer impostor perfume and abortions and rare vegetables. to name a few.

this sunday i found my birthday twin.

she was maybe 4 or 5 and had pigtails and purple barrettes and was walking hand in hand with her mom. she was asking when her birthday was and what a birthday was. literally intersecting my path. march 15th! says mom.
we both got really excited.
