The city is awash in art! How great! But the administration is destroying lives, and bent on doing more. I feel overwhelmed by all the information that I received about what they want to do. But how does it effect me?
It is like living in a double image. On Broadway near Columbia---people out and about enjoying the great spring weather. Any fear? Any pain? You can't see it, At a diner near 100th street where I stopped for some ice coffee---packed at 11 AM. And you know their prices have gone up. Are these the people suffering? If one does not know anyone laid off or deprived of work because of the startling budget cuts, does it mean it is not happening? I control my income carefully--still I want to spend money to see plays, movies, some operas, etc, Should I do this, or just enjoy reading--the most inexpensive thing I can do--and save my money for a"drastic" future. It's a line--once you cross into one world--the other becomes forgotten. To be excited about the arts, I reject the pain--I forget it. But then I ask? How could this have happened? Sometimes I think this is just a "bad dream" that ends with funding restored. Oh, if only Kamala had won---I could have my arts wonderland And yet, plays, movie festivals, etc.want money--they are not giving anything away/
It is a line. Once you cross it, you forget---at least for now?
