someday a real rain will come
and wash this scum off the streets
- robert de niro, taxi driver (1976)

nyc is white glove
clean these days

you know
a lot of new yorkers
who lived here in the 70's / 80's
have an uncanny nostalgia
for the old filthy gotham.

i've heard a lot
of stories.

a taxi driver once
told me with light in his eyes
"it was a dirty town, man, but
the city had soul...i can't
explain it. soul baby."
