I supposed that’s the thing about New York.
It’s always a little more than you’d hoped for.
Each day there is so definitely a new day.
London is satisfied.
Paris is resigned.
But New York — New York is always hopeful.
There’s always the feeling of
”Something is going to happen.”
It isn’t peace.
But you get used to peace.
And you never get used to New York.
It’s always a little more than you’d hoped for.

But New York — New York is always hopeful.

And you never get used to New York.
