Sometimes it seems that everyone in this town is fucking crazy. I went out on a brief errand a few days ago, just down one avenue to a store. As I crossed the street, I heard a man screaming into a public phone "FIFTEENTH AND EIGHT AVENUE!". I've never heard a location shouted in such anger before. As I returned from the store, an older woman, walking towards me, suddenly threw a bunch of bird seed below a car nearby. Startled, the next person I saw was a woman coming towards me muttering to herself. As I avoided her, I realized that everyone I had seen on the street in my errand had been crazy. Then I did a little self-check to make sure I wasn't acting crazy as well. Nope. It was just them. Where do they come from? How do they survive here? What do they do all day? I don't know, but they are here and I'm guessing that if they disappear, then a person even crazier must replace them.
