I was walking back to the subway from a birthday party, when I saw a crowd of people gathered on the sidewalk, facing a doorway. I walked closer; there were cards, and pictures; a Bokeback Mountain DVD with a personal message written in Sharpie on the cover; stacks of flower arrangements, and all manner of personal messages. People saying goodbye to someone gone too soon. I hope that the other residents of that building are okay with all this; for my part, it truly was touching, like walking past the Imagine mural in Central Park.
