THE PRESENT FOR NOW

High Wind and Divided Sky above my building
Monday Weather
July 23rd
 Second Avenue at East 23rd Street
Bus Stop
Note How Much is Going On
The puff of smoke over the Rabbis head while he tries to dial his cell phone is from the young Chinese mans cigarette. He's hidden by that woman passing out of frame far right. Foreground left is a Father/caregiver wearing a tee shirt with cartoon characters I don't recognize and wheeling a sleeping child. The ad inside the bus shelter carries the ominous message: "I saw nothing"
((((whew))))

Domestic Disturbance Tuesday
 10:30PM
The thunder-footed one and her roommate have returned.
My bath wall above the toilet is slowly streaming rivulets of water.
They won't answer their apartment door.
The Super responds. The leak stops.
This is not the first time.
He will return tomorrow to search for a leak within their wall.
 Framed 1906 drawing by unknown artist that hangs there is okay,
only a bit damp on the wood backing.
((((whew))))

Wednesday
Waited from ten to noon, then informed the Super, left the door locked open and ran some local errands
 Got two audio books at the Library
1. "The Girl who Circumnavigated Fairyland"
by Catherynne M. Valente
2. "I've Got My Eyes on You" by Mary Higgins Clark 
 Windowsill Basil is ready to Reap
'Caterfly'
from Jude who 'didn't forget' me.
Two hours of meditation at the Zendo
Spied this fledgling out the side window
 Goodnight
