with the CITIES
NEW YORK
I have a strong
I can FEEL all the
PEOPLE
in this kind of swirling
CLAUSTROPHOBIC
MASS of
GHOST
& it was
FRIGHTENING
oppressive
with CHICAGO
it just
FELT
REAL
BIG
but OPEN, manageable somehow
BUT
it probably wouldn't be
in the WINTER
I can still remember
when we got cable
the WEATHER channel saying
CHICAGO
is having SPRING like fifty five degrees
AND
I'm all LIKE
fifty five is DEEP into NEED a COAT weather
WHAT the serious f*CK
LOS ANGELES
is AGORAPHOBIC
it's a city type I understand
BUT
there's MORE of all the bits I find
CHALLENGING
the FREEWAY is
SO BEAUTIFUL that I just want to
DRIVE
ONLY
TRAFFIC
I found WILSHIRE
almost
INSTINCTIVELY
VONS
is that the name of the grocery store
I ate in their hot food department
more than once
it's WEIRD that
you've seen it before
in film and television and whatnot
there was some VIBE
that didn't
FIT
ME
MAYBE
it's a sense of
PROBABLY a lot of it is
PRECONCEIVED
MAYBE
I didn't feel like
I could HANDLE it
BUT
if I lived there
I'd probably
LOVE it, eventually
it's BEAUTIFUL
how could you ultimately
AVOID
loving it
BUT
OVERWHELMING
