You were wearing a vintage Raiders jersey in Section 114

You were reading Clarice Lispector on the uptown A train
Tuesday morning, around 8:45. You had a green tote bag and we smiled at the same moment when the lights flickered and came back on. You got off at 59th. I should've said something.
You rescued my kite from a tree and wouldn't let me pay you back
Sunday afternoon. You were with a golden retriever. You climbed up and untangled it like it was nothing, handed it back with a grin, and walked off before I even got your name.
