new york, new york.
ah, the sound of their rounded a's pronounced as o's. the outward vocalization of every complaint and thought. the bangs of murses and brusque briefcases against my thighs.... i bask in it daily.
i'm slowly beginning to lose what little ounce of patience and manners i previously had and conform to the way of the old yorker.
the thing about big city folks is that they're misunderstood! it's not like they lack warmth or love. They're not mean people out to get you. They just know that the city runs smoother a certain way, and they project that way onto others who just aren't as experienced.
in fact, they can be very kind, affectionate... full of very tough love. just don't ever get in their way or stand on the left side of the escalator. be efficient and mindful and you're sure to get on their good side!
no time to be sensitive. just follow orders and do it their way or risk belittlement and ego tearing pain.
shape up or ship out.
viva la nueva york!
