Those folk who don’t live in the city say “I don’t understand why anybody would want to live there… so many people”.
That guy in the tie, last week he might have been on a silent Buddhist retreat somewhere in greenest Massachusetts, and there he might have plotted to kill his wife’s chihuahua. Did he then sit by a pond, attempting to meditate, while chasing away a froth of mosquitos with mindfulness?
The lady in the purple coat probably knits. She knits and crochets genitalia in very pleasant velvet yarn, I expect she sells them on Etsy.
Maybe the woman in the scarf has caught a cold. It will bug her as she completes her thesis on I Love Lucy and burgeoning female empowerment in the 1950’s.
The smiling woman looks like she has had her faith in bureaucracy restored. I’d imagine the processing of a passport application was surprisingly smooth considering that she was born in the middle of the Caspian sea on an ex-soviet pilot boat, an accident of birth which, until today, has caused her endless hours of queuing.
Of course none of this is actually true of these people, but in the city there are so many people that it will undoubtedly be true of somebody, sooner or later.
