“MY MIND WAS PHOTOSTATIC...”

62008jonahbirdstudy.jpg

A man on the downtown 1 train, at approximately 2 PM: transports his piano-length Casio keyboard in a shopping cart, and protects same with a small dune of garbage bags lining the bottom of the cart.

A man on the uptown 1 train, at exactly 8:45 AM (one week ago): unwraps a fresh bootleg of “Sex and The City,” opens a portable DVD player with a deeply cracked screen, and watches the movie, without headphones, volume cranked.

A man on Nostrand Avenue, time immemorial: has all your records.
