I have always wanted to help an old woman cross the street.
It is such a good thing to do,
in the truest sense of the word good.  Tonight I saw an old woman
crossing the street.
It looked like she needed help.
Old and frail she wobbled across 7th ave
Clutching her pocketbook close.
My instinct was to help but in a case of disillusionment I realized
I didn't know how to help.
Do I grab her arm ?
Or would that startle her?
Do I offer to hold her pocketbook?
Or would I come off as some sort of amateur thief?
So I walked past her
Not helping at all
Instead just wondering how, logistically
One would help an old woman to cross the street.

3rd week on the job

SO...

I put bandaids on my heels this morning

because of new flats I purchased from Jcrew

Sea Green.

My previous wear with these flats (the first wear)

caused blisters, bubbly and rough.

today was my second wear

i often sit in my desk chair with one leg curled under me, makes me propped up.  

my one foot is under my butt.

i get up from my chair for a meeting

walk to the meeting room

sit down and have the meeting

after the meeting a girl says to me

oh you have something i think, stuck to you, it looks like a bandaid

there was a bandaid hanging

from my butt

third week on the job.
