on a bench
one day a week or so ago
during
one of my lunchtime walks
i went
down
to
the south street seaport
around
the tip of manhattan
back to the office
along the way
i spotted
this guy and his dog
just sitting there
on a bench
he saw me pointing the phone
his pup was busy watching the traffic
as i got closer
i said:
he's so handsome
is he friendly
yes,
he replied
may i pet him?
sure,
he said
and
i did
