2020
single work

It’s filled with older people anticipating or denying or recovering from the usual bodily attrition, sporty-looking medical staff with lanyards drinking long blacks, and people on break from day-programs in street clothes trying to blend in.

A very limited inner-city melting pot, in other words, of which I, on my laptop typing this essay, am a part.' (Introduction)
