Magazine

I notice this afternoon that the three people standing in front of me as I sit on the 5 train are all reading the exact same thing- New York Magazine’s 40th Anniversary edition. The same magazine I too was reading all last week on the subway and finally finished this morning. I also notice someone else seated across from me reading the identical New York Times Sunday Magazine from two weekends ago that I am currently flipping through now. Everyone likes to say New York is so diverse and we like to think we are such individuals. But really we are all the same.

Tonight is my last night in New York, and not once did I ride the subways. I am very disappointed in myself.
