We sit together at a table
with our compromised body parts:
hands arms elbows shoulders.
Beautiful Asian woman
with the unlikely name
Ethel told us she was Jewish.
Jewish because of
Maimonides, Heschel,
Isaac Bashevis Singer.
She was in the park with her dog.
The dog pulled her down.
Police helped. They took her dog
to the station called an ambulance
and Mt. Sinai fixed her arm. She’s better now.
Man on my left worked
for thirty plus years. He retired
and can finally be a photographer.
He showed us his photos.
We all liked them.
Isaac Bashevis Singer lived in the gated building at BROADWAY and 86 Street. I know the name of the building but have misfiled it in my brain. I use to babysit for his family when his grandchildren visited.
I'm eager to hear more!
