DKNY

DKNY.jpgWhen I was 23 I had a postcard of New York pinned to my wall. It’s only flaw was a stray pen mark, but I liked the arbitrary line. It made me want to draw. That was then.

Last weekend I took Akira to my favorite parts of the city: Jackson
Heights for Indian buffet, Canal Street, and the park next to the library. He took me to the Village.

Being at Times Square for no reason late on Sunday night taking
pictures of each other wasn’t corny. It was nice. The best part was knowing we were going home soon.

I brushed my teeth when the plane stopped in Minneapolis. I got three seats to myself on the flight to Sea-Tac, so I got some sleep. And was awake enough to chit-chat with the taxi driver who brought us home. Dimpy (“I know it’s a girlish name”) wants to start an Indian garment import business.

No postcards of anywhere on my wall now, but yesterday at the post office I bought four of Seattle.
