She’s got her finger on the arrhythmic beat of the city’s cold heart. I said this place is like a schizophrenic dream. She said follow me and I’ll show you what you mean. I walked with her a while and we fell into a stream.

Swimming through a sea of inebriated knees

Drowning in the eyes of the woman next to me.
