Times Square Mosaic Gather without collecting a moment of this city: Two women—long friends—may link arms, set out when the sun is bright, tan coats jaunty snapping in the breeze without doubt. Their hair is gathered in clips sporting fake flowers, bright red and big as a fist. They are off to spend the day shopping, their multi-colored bags stuffed with gifts.

My camera—quick—a dusty red blossom flees or a wound blossoms. Only the lens sees.
