City Ritual: Unknown Subway Substance
In a crowded subway, this was sitting on a seat. For forty minutes, a stream of people eagerly approached the empty seat, spotted the napkin, momentarily considered moving it/asking about it before deciding to stand.
I’ve been very pissy about the small town == real comments recently (I grew up in a small town, now I live in NYC, have a trailer upstate on five acres and they’re all real to me.) But this incident was just one in a stream of “I love my city” proof points.
