#237: Two Photos and a Song
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008I took a long walk today. I walked past the library, past Persona, past the Atlantic and the Top. I walked through the Thomas Center gardens and cut through the Turtle Amphitheater. When I came to the Duck Pond, I took the road to the left. It was the long way home.
I’d brought my camera along, but the need to take photos wasn’t there today. But luckily I had my music. From “Sinnerman” to “Starman” to “Section 9,” my music kept me company. When my thoughts turned again to my time in South Carolina, I had to listen to Jump, Little Children.
Their song “B-13″ is among my favorites. It always reminds me of “The Purple Rose of Cairo,” one of Woody Allen’s more macabre movies (and one of my favorites). So today, I tried to re-create the sad hope that Cecilia takes with her to the movies.
It wasn’t until later that I realized the one photo from today that I actually liked bears a striking resemblance to Cecilia.
