A thousand people cross my path, each more different than the next.
' Are they happy? Are they sad? Will they hurt me? Do they smile? Do they ever stop smiling?'
It's amazing how overexposure can lead to desensitization. I sit back, I relax and I enjoy the show.
Some days my head hurts from keeping up with the gossip, problems and fits people seem to have in public. Some days I want to reach out and hug everyone. Some days I'm grateful not to have a blunt object in my possession.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is the New York City Public Transportation System.
