Yo, Atticus, Mayor Boomberg must love you. You are a bastard...well, okay, a bit uncivil. But in '74 I saw a guy go under a train. I mean I didn't see him, but I saw...okay this is not ...well yes it is, I saw the faces of the people who witnessed it. I was walking another way, and the memories I recall are a bit like pompei. Of course, real time is, well, it's not there at all, it just goes on and on. But I remember the pall of faces frozen...and I was un-touched. But I suspect if I could paint, I'd portray hell as such. And the trains do scream,
I'd forgotten my fear...you couldn't get me back down there. Hell, New York's a bit of a walk, but, down in those tunnels...Christ, you nailed it. cockeyed.
