Friday - October 2, 2020 - Flower Studio by Blondie’s - 787 Tenth Avenue (between west 52nd & 53rd).

I’m standing outside the Flower Studio by Blondie’s on Tenth Avenue at a quarter till noon. The sidewalk and the streets are dark and soaked with rain. A grey mist is holding in the air and hanging above the city. Car horns are crying out but only in the distance, and softly. Closer is the sound of the birds chirping. A few moments before, I’m seeing the flowers and plants and trees outside of Blondie’s while standing on the other side of Tenth Avenue. From one hundred feet east, the space outside of Blondie’s looks like a small forest. After taking the first sip of my English Breakfast tea, the green on green on green on green begins pulling me across the street, west.
