Two million people with stories untold.
Their bitter lives scarred by the affects of
all the others settled around them.
There really is a history hidden here.
There are tears dried up
in the cracks of sidewalks,
and lipstick-written notes
written in the bathroom stalls,
scattered pieces of paper and bullets,
and a man with a guitar playing for petty change.
So many people live their lives
wandering through the city known
for famous firsts and tragic affairs.
Yet most of these people ignore
the strange others living around them,
and they seem to miss the present.
They don't listen.
