Angry Noisy Beast

A gorgeous battered changeable tidal wave of a city.
New York has grabbed me by the throat and forced me to listen.
Wake up Miss Warman and learn to walk, get out of your wheelchair and use those legs.
There’s no resting here, no moment to catch your breath, no place to take solitude, peace and tranquility.
The city is a noisy angry beast, forcing its members to adapt to it.
You are no longer human you are only one part of its vast concrete membrane.
The blisters on my feet are screaming for rest.
Day one.
