About New York City

I was angry, tho, readin’ ‘bout how some cities banned ‘em hard in the 1900s, all moral panic, like “we can’t have that!” But then, surprise, they just went underground, still thrivin’. Happy for the workers who made bank, but sad for those forced, you know? Brothels ain’t just seedy corners, some were like hotels, fancy af, with art and music. In Nevada, still legal, can you believe? “A fragile illusion,” like the movie says, but real life, innit?

Oh, and me personal fav spot? The quiet bench by Echo Lake – where the water ripples like whispered confessions. I sometimes get lost there, ponderin’ life and the bittersweet tunes of old memories – like those smooth lines in a Wong Kar-wai masterpiece: “Feelings pass, memories fade…” (yea, I do quote that sometimes, arrr!)
