The Unseen Eyes in the City

                   I....Can't say that old people annoy me. Not unless they are cranky or moody because world had treated them that bad. There is a stench that comes out from them... The best way it can be described is ...it smells like "old"? Like old stuff, things that has been stagnant for a while and a smell develops on it or them after a period of time.  Too bad aging is inevitable.

                   The Big Apple is filled with lonely people. We can't even look at each other in the eye while on the train or bus  without it having intention. We all submit ourselves to headphones and hope that we don't see each other again. Relationships here are like that. A person can't help but look at their options even if they are in a relationship. Fidelity is not a virtue in this town.

Distinctions

They all wear that. Their flag proudly printed on their skin either in an artistic portraiture or a tacky little break through my skin tattoo. They are all proud none the less and the types that come from that island all vary. One thing, though, that will distinguish them from anyone else. Their eyebrows.
