Flowers in New York look pretty from a distance, but upon closer examination, you can see they’re really just dead on their stems. The soil just isn’t rich enough. That’s a pretty good analogy for life in New York. After 10 years here, you look okay from a distance, but up close you’ve got a twitchy eye and when you get drunk you beg strangers for a cigarette. The soil just isn’t rich enough to keep everyone’s dreams alive.
