it was before noon. you (30’s male) seemed hyper. you carried only a notebook. you asked the cop for a swipe because you lost your metro card and wallet. he gave you a swipe. we sat across from each other. you commented on my (39 male) glasses and said i was cute. i asked if you were sephardic. you are not. maybe italian? we exchanged names, nothing else. we might've talked about writing or the lit event i was attending in the evening. i've forgotten your name. i'm robert. did you say "david," "caleb," or "jonathan"? i was staying in chinatown, but I might've met you coming to manhattan from jfk or from chinatown to the met. i hope you're well. i hope the people who read this wish you well. i hope everyone is as friendly to you as the cop was when you were in need. i hope we meet again.
