A List Of Places I Have Found Myself Recently (Category: "Unexpected")

Under a bamboo structure on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, drinking a mojito.

In church trying to follow along with the hymns, whispering to my aunt: "Oh, I know this one." Alone in a pew when everyone rises to take communion.

Dancing in the rain on the boardwalk in Coney Island. Peeking through my hands during the sword-swallowing act.

In Little Italy listening to Red Mike's Festival Band. Contemplating fried food, instead seeking out duck in Chinatown.

Times Square, assisting a superhero in the heat of midday.

Williamsburg.
