1:04 am Jealous of silicon, neon broods behind grated shop windows.

1:24 am When society's dominant sensual paradigm finally switches from sight to smell and cell phone manufacturers are forced to provide odor messaging, this picture will (retroactively) make a lot more sense. Flowers trapped under bodega awnings are just the best.

3:05 am On the First Avenue subway platform, MTA employees cluster, seemingly unmindful of what appears to be a human body several feet away from them...

“What am I looking for?”


“The end—you want to know that there is a point where madness turns from abrasive cuts of blood-spurting agony to coalesced scabs that fade away, drifting into a timeless void, nihilistic oblivion--a terrible beauty that will either uplift or shatter your frame.”


"New Yawk, eh? Think I'll stay right here until the trains stop running."


"They never stop."


"Oh, they'll stop. They've got to stop runnin' sometime. Just got to."
