excuse me

but
 is
 that a ballet slipper
above
 your head

it is

its one of the photos
 from
 jr's nyc ballet series 

i was
 as you may recall
 over at lincoln center 
taking photos
 of the exterior paste ups 
since the interior is not open to the public til february
 anyway
 at the entrance to the subway
 those two people
 were
 standing
 talking
 maybe
 waiting on someone else 
who knows
 i took a photo
 which 
for some reason never appeared in my camera
 i didn't know that at the time
 nevertheless
 i took the second shot 
when they turned
 to see
 what
 why
 i was taking
 'their' 
photo
