The Subway Train Heading Downtown
It was an ordinary Wednesday morning as I boarded the subway train heading downtown. I could see those around me with their lost hopes and broken dreams, like the remnants of a yellow circus that left behind stakes and broken ropes that lay scattered on the muddy ground. The ties that bound them twisted and tangled, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight lost in the daydream of my minds eye. I’m no stranger to bad poetry, but I like to think I’m also capable of being kind, especially on a morning like this. The other passengers on the train seemed to be in business suits and coats,…

She is a wonderful woman, an actress from Holland, who is a friend to [name withheld] who have rented an upstairs apartment from me for many years. She immediately fell in love with the apartment and was more than happy to give me the asking price, and to my amazement, she signed the lease agreement on the spot! Later in the afternoon, I decided to meet up with my friend Mitch in Brooklyn. Mitch had some time to spare that afternoon, and the plan…
