Someone To Do Nothing With

 

I’m sitting in a small courtyard

In between meetings

In the bustling town

Known as New York City

 

It’s peaceful

As peaceful as it can be

With Madison Ave traffic

Rolling nearby

 

I’m at one of those wrought iron tables

Like patio furniture

Looking at a couple

Who’s just doing nothing

 

They seem quite content

Snapping pictures

And just making a plan

For how to spend the rest of the day

 

It occurred to me

That I haven’t had that pleasure

Of just doing nothing

With some special

For some time now

 

It’s always fun

Just a day in the city

Under clear blue skies

No plan - no rush

 

A day to bond

And find some love

Being with someone special

To do nothing at all
