waiting


this is Lola
  I met her
 last weekend 
on 
Madison Avenue
 on my way
 to exhale spa
 for my massage

 her person
a lovely South African woman 
was getting a latte
 while
 Lola 
waited
 outside
 the
 coffee shop
 never
 once
 taking her eyes 
off her
 not even 
when 
I knelt
 in front
 of her 
and
 asked
 if 
she 
would
 mind
 if 
I took 
her 
photo  

apparently she didnt

I hope
 your weekend
 is filled
 with 
sunshine
and
 lovely
 fall 
temperatures
