| | Shiny treasure!I was walking to the post office today when I noticed a shiny object on
the floor. As I leaned over to pick it up from the dirty New York
sidewalk, it moved. Thinking it absurd that a solid object would move
without a push, I stood up and glanced around. One never knows when at
the end of a practical joke. However, looking around me revealed not a
soul. Unless you count the two old ladies with shopping bags waiting
for the M15. I looked down again, expecting to see the goddamned shiny
object. What do you know. It was nothing more than a gum wrapper.
As with all New York City mini-adventures (or perhaps adventures the
world over), its easy to find something that bears closer inspection.
You never know what you'll find. Most often though, all that's really
there is a piece of dirt painted with no little gilt. Disappointments
abound in this grand ole city and I, for one, am more than satisfied
with a cup of booze, cigarettes, and chocolate.
