Poetry

I love the beginning of Meditations in an Emergency! The way he expresses the sentiment of how New York City can make him feel lonely and unappreciated but at the same time he can't imagine being anywhere else is perfect. I can totally relate to that! New York city is a place of constant heartbreak. It is a place where you walk down the street and see several beautiful people you don't have a chance of ever meeting. It is a place where you go out to a club and several people might be mingling with the person your interested in. It is a place where you have one fun night and then the next night you won't have anyone to hang out with and you'll walk down 3rd avenue and see thousands of people out having fun and it will make you just feel alone and pathetic. However, the thought of not being in the city and taking that risk of getting crushed is worse than suffering through the loneliness at its worst. When I go to Washington Square Park and sit under the trees it is my escape. But, it is only so because I know after spending a morning recovering from the woes of New York City I am only a minutes walk from Bagel Bobs or my favorite jazz club.
