a basic human tragedy

the vegetable peeler guy died this weekend.

this is very sad news indeed. seeing him in union square always brightened my day.

i also have my suspicions that the owner of the crepe place may have passed away recently.

everyday for the past two years, as i walked to and from work, i would pass him sitting in his restaurant, drinking coffee and watching the people walk by. he always smiled and blew me a kiss.

i haven't seen him since Christmas. and it's kind of breaking my heart.
