“Empty Sky”

Paid a visit to “Ground Zero” this morning. I knew 2 persons that persished in the 9/11 disaster. So this was special to me. Paused to think about my friends and to realize once again that New York will never be the same. I navigate the city by its landmarks and it used to be easy: all you had to do was look up and find the Twin Towers. And I find myself still doing that. Only to realize every time that they’re no longer there. And it’s not just the towers that are no longer there.

The rest of the day, I went hunting for clothes. I don’t think anyone will ever notice me wearing new things. And quite possibly I’m out of style, so all the money I’ve spent is in vain. But at least I look decent. And… I no longer wear stuff that is at least 2 sizes too big.
