We Are Still Married
“down in the basement. Monday morning, I walked my wife to her job near Union Square, kissed her goodbye, and headed up Park Avenue toward my office. It was a bright cold day. I was okay until I looked up at 24th and saw, in stone, a man’s head in the mouth of a lion. At 27th, I ducked into the New York Life building and down a subway passage marked “UP AND DOWN TOWN” as a herd of passengers came pouring through two revolving doors revolving so steadily that the doors looked like a machine that stamps out office workers—whump whump whump. That and the herd getting off the uptown local with me at Grand Central made me want to duck out, and, for no reason except that I hadn’t done this sort of thing for much too long, I ducked across the platform and got on the No. 4 Woodlawn-Jerome Ave. express just to see where it goes. Owing to the specialized nature of my work, my company doesn’t miss me if I arrive a few hours late. Nobody there knows what I do.
The express stopped at 59th and at 86...th, then put its head down and raced up to 125th, and around 160th it came up out of the ground.MoreLess
