Two People Walking

I went for a walk with my son tonight.
We were three thousand miles apart, but we walked and talked and watched the cell phone minutes tick by,

I watched the shadows wash across the Indio Hills.
He watched the skaters in Rockefeller Plaza.



I sipped on my bottled water.
He contemplated coffee at Dean & Deluca.





I watched the planes go across the sky.

He watched the skyscrapers touch the sky.




The air around me felt like spring time
The air around him felt like....November.



I went home to make dinner
He Headed off to Rue 57 to meet his wife and friends.

Good night, New York.
Wherever you are.
