Today


Today I was walking around and saw a man listening to an iPod on his Vespa.
Today I was walking around and ran into a block party.
Today I was walking around and saw a woman with a newborn baby.
Today I was walking around and drank three coffees.
And then I looked up, saw the buildings bend into a dark alley, and thought about how this is Rome—peeled buildings tangling to some vine valley—and knew that I was going to miss this: spending my todays walking around, thinking as the day was long.
