green which

yesterday i ventured through the marble of grand central station to take a train to greenwich, connecticut to visit a friend. metro north, along with rosie thomas, took me there and back. i needed a break. i needed to clear my head and catch my breath. we went to a park where people were ice skating on a frozen pond. i walked on the ice, careful with each step i took, and pondered the trust of all parties involved, as well as what it might be like to prematurely trust. at sunset i experienced a few quiet moments on an almost empty beach, deep waters in view. mission accomplished. it's good to be home in 4b, but i'm fond of the available escape. hopefully sal, the bartender with dancing pectorals, will serve me again some day.
