there is a cavity in new york. my mind goes back to it like a tounge again and again. it stays in my life when i see old episodes of law and order and old movies like men in black when i see the incisors in all their glory standing like a mountain, breathing life into the setting. funny, it inspires different emotions now.
there is a cavity in new york. i never noticed the presence as much before. it's like an old house you passed every day on the way to school. always grateful for the shade without even knowing it. the smell of musty old boards and the color of faded paint always reaching out to fill the senses and never seen until gone one day. we then run home unbelieving to find the old pictures we took never knowing what was posing as well as those we love and remember.
there is a cavity in new york. the orators are mystified. we feed on remedies of denial and disclaimer. the mortar and saliva cloak the cries and blood. the fee never equals the reckoning. the ibuprophen is feckless.
there is a cavity in new york. it remains, no denture can fill it. no muck can patch it.
we still see it. we still feel it
CAVITY CREEPS!
A cavity, you say??
"there is a cavity in new york"
How much does it rent for?
it's a pure disgrace. it's my contention that during any generation in the past they would have been rebuilt lickity-split. if reagan were president the towers would be standing as we post. it's frustration at it's apogee.
nope, not hallucinating at all, some a-holes destroyed our towers and our leaders are impotent. how long have YOU been asleep??
if only it WERE toothopolis we were dealing with.

I have been known to remind people that the Empire State Building was completed in 13 months. But these are, tragically, much different times. A nation divided. Still. More. A disgrace is right.
what makes it worse is the implication that we are UNABLE to build it back. makes me sick.
It's just an implication, of course. I suspect that if the market for Manhattan real estate were a bit more cost effective, it would have been done by now.
Perhaps that is the real reason that time is passed by doddling. If it made business sense, it would be done by now. At least I hope that is the case.
