Saturday

Noted:

When speaking -- she whispered. When walking -- she hummed.
Her presence -- purposeful, calming.

On the platform, she stood indulging in a pint of Hagendaaz.
Spoon licked clean.

On the train, crowded. Lanky gent, one sock short, pink -- one sock taller, blue.

Departing friend, six-year New Yorker -- finally noted the emerald hue
of the Emipre State.

Gray day -- golden light.
