Re: City Limits — > Consider what all your old apartments would say if they got together to swap stories. They could piece together the starts and finishes of your relationships, complain about your wardrobe and musical tastes, gossip about who you are after midnight.
Re: The Port Authority — > IT IS THE biggest hiding place in the world. The inevitable runaways. The abandoned, only recently reading between the lines.
> In effect, no matter what time of day it is, everyone arrives at the same time, in the same weather, and in this way it is possible for all of them to start even.
Re: Morning > The snow is already shamed and grimed: five minutes is all it takes for this city to break you.
> This wind will mug you of everything, make you look ridiculous as you try to maintain.
Re: Central Park — > IT’S A little-known fact that people are buried here but only the murderers know the exact locations.
Re: Downtown — > How do they all fit. Squabbling like pigeons over stale crumbs of seats. Everyone thinks they are more deserving, everyone thinks their day has been harder than everyone else’s, and everyone is correct.
