Day to Day New York Existance for Fun and Business
1) The bigger a city, the more you should be civilized, despite everyone else.
2) The more people crowded in one place, don't antagonize people despite what everyone else you see may be doing.
3) The more you use the word respect and the less you practice it, the better you will blend in... lol... :)
4) The black things on the sidewalk are old gum, not after dinner mints.
5) Friendly people, especially beautiful women who want to meet you are a mirage or a map showing which hills to run to and a hint that running quickly is a plus!
6) Be rude because everyone else here is
7) Chase after the simple and abundant things in New York which are a contradiction to the usual pursuits.
8) Realizing extreme weather in MInnesota, Florida and Arizona takes the edge of wanting to complain about sometimes oppresive NY weather
9) Black gum on the sidewalks still make effective tongue cleaners. Some from the seventies have retsin -tm-
10) Spitting and bralessness is casual.

Demented New York athletes staggering round the block
Deforned Chicanos pour in, Chicago's rolling stock
Digital bathrooms drilling for furs
Surgical stockings marked his and hers
Guggenheim attitudes back to back
With Jewish Baroque
No way street
Happy to see you, have a nice day!
Defecting Russian dancers dance into Hockney prints
Exclusive to Bloomingdales, gift-wrapped in red
From the land of blue rinse
They boggle at menus in Olde English verse
"Ode to burger" by Keats at his worst
The hissing of omelettes the breaking of legs
Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eggs
The pink fillet mignon looks black on the negs
Strange apparatus
You've never seen
Strange apparatus, even stranger theme
Street alligators
Big Anglophile
Will navigate us through a change of style
I came, I saw, what manner of beast is this
New York, you talk a little bit left of centre
A scream, a shout
New York is throwing its weight about
Walk tall, walk straight, spit the world right in the eye
The stranger the wood the straighter the arrow
Dismembered hopeful My-Lai veterans queuing for sleaze
"Sorry no dogs, no fags, no shriners, and no amputees"
Sexual athlete applies for audition
Willing to make it in any position
Just one of the extras with blood on their faces
In snow-white and the seven basket cases
I'm happy and dopey and dirty in places
No way street
Lock up your daughters, Avon crawling!
Devoted collectors of paraphernalia out walking the rock
Battle and bitch for the ultimate kitch
of a crucifix clock
Two miniature romans, running on rails
Appear every hour and bang in the nails
I've got to have it, Christ, I gotta be the first
on our block
Disturbing facts about Nazi splinter groups seen on the news
They're picketing synagogues and claiming that
Hitler was King of the Jews
Caught in the tunnel an ambulance howls
A men's room attendant is flapping his jowls
Ssshh, Howard Johnson is moving his bowels
Strange apparatus, even stranger theme
Walk straight, walk tall, spit the world right in the eye
The stranger the wood, the straighter the arrow
