How to thrive in a City with no money and no prospects

Be under twenty four.

Pick up lost hats, scarves, and jackets from bars. Return if it happens to below to one of your friends.

Dance and don’t talk to anybody. Don’t look at anybody.

Always bring a friend to the bathroom.

You don’t need to shower unless your spirit needs cleansing too.

Get used to walking long distances.

Get used to walking long distances alone, stoned, wasted, freezing, starving, with ripped contacts, late at night as the sky brightens, when the birds sing.

Ask for drags of cigarettes. Turn down whole cigarettes. Stick half cigarettes behind your ear.

Leave before he wakes up.
