I took the train and decided to just go around to and see the city through the eyes the train had given me. Every route gave me more vision of the inner workings of the city. I decided not to go around and talk to people, but to just simply watch and learn. I kept seeing the same pattern I saw in Seattle, L.A., San Fran... Homeless folk in tent cities. I saw high class condos towering over methadone clinics, and Michelin starred restaurants surrounded by people sleeping, in what I could only describe as a mummy-like pose, trying to not freeze. I mean, they really were covered in layers of blankets all over, laying flat on the hard concrete ground. The people gathering up two-by-fours and other kinds of wooden material, or tinder, to make a big enough fire to weather through the cold temperatures. I see all this, and yet I can't even ponder and think through what I'm seeing and the observations made because some dumbass next to me decided to have a heated argument over the phone with his girlfriend about the ethics of masks wearing and the need to not "trigger" others on the train. He couldn't even use his headphone, it had to be on speaker for my pathetic ass to listen to. Even after finally leaving to a new train route, and freeing myself from the anemia the conversation was causing me, I couldn't help but keep thinking about what I overheard and laugh about it throughout. That experience, the mere bull surrounding everything that I heard, and the nonsense that makes up the foundations of their arguments (however clever they are) inspired me on a mission to correct the record. Who are the real cultural elites?
