dismounting discounted rainbow bike

I was riding my bike on the bicycle path on  West Street yesterday.   I had  bought this bike for $50, deep discount,  probably because nobody wanted the color scheme. At 14th street the path was blocked  due to the gay parade. I dismounted and walked amid the parade goers a half mile to Clarkson. And then I realized that walking with my rainbow colored bike I was fitting right in.

Midnight in Paris

This childhood friend living in Paris dropped me and my mother at a metro station. It was midnight. When we realized we had missed the last train we took an escalator to street. We got through the heavy turnstile gate that closed behind us. In front of us a grille locked for the night. Midnight in Paris prisoners in a metro bouche.

Frank died

And we, his friends, immediately  checked our weight and took our blood pressure medication.
