I managed to get lost on the wrong subway. I was going uptown on a subway, that diverged to Queens. I got off in a deserted station. The sound of breaking glass made my heart beat faster. No one was on the streets. Rain was whipping into me and sand was blasting my face. I could not find the entrance to go into the opposite direction. I stood on the corner and felt like I was in the Twilight zone. Finally, a man emerged from the gust of wind and he told me how to return to uptown. I was trying to connect with Cassidy, so that we could see the new Target, that was opening in Harlem. The people have been so helpful. Two boys led me to Pleasant street in Harlem. Ladies help me carry the cart full of groceries up the many steps in the subway’s exit. Their smiles have graced the good feeling, that I have while I wander the streets, when I am not in Cassidy’s apartment.
