GNO

Have you ever felt like suddenly you were seeing New York with fresh eyes?

You’re surprised at by your own wonder, twinkling lights swaying in the breeze. A lush gated garden with its door left open feels like a secret message just for you. It tastes like your third glass of wine and feels like banter with a cute guy from London while you both wait for the bathroom.

It’s all lit like a movie set. The three-man band sounds like a symphony. Every time before you had wished you were with someone else, in another time, in another place. But this feels right. It feels perfect — like peace, like a blessing, like heaven, like an answer… finally. Nothing in life is ever so clean, especially endings. And yet this feels like a coda to a very long and sad story.
