168


What brought you to New York?
Television.
Oh, you saw it in a movie?
Yes, but that's not why.
Why then, you said television
Yes but because
The city is too transient for Television.
That's what brought me here.
That's what will keep me here.
not physically cause static is movement.
And when there's static on the television, we turn.
But that's what will always draw me here
The comfort of an unworking Television
The constant static
Reminding me to move
But always feeling like this is home
Like when i've drifted off to sleep to the sound of a static snowstorm
Waking up and going properly to bed
Only until morning, when the news the news it starts again.
