Fidel seen on Lexington

Walking up Lexington Ave. today at about 36th there walked a man in his mid-30's, big stogie in his mouth, a tall trim man, bearded, jeans and a Euro style yellow and black track warm up jacket, walking a dog, who was an image of Fidel Castro. From a distance he looked like the man from some old Life magazine photo. Up close as I passed the youth was there but the identity traits were the same. Only then did I realize that the Cuban mission to the United Nations, always guarded, was one block away. A nephew, great nephew, grandson, a diplomat or an entitled Cuban flaneur just passing time in New York like the chosen few from ostracized countries do, or someone from Queens or Indiana just walking the dog. What I think is clear. The truth is completely unknown.
