Give
me
your
tired,
your
poor,
your
huddled
masses
yearning
to
get
off
their
feet
in
the
midst
of
a
hectic
publicity
run
-
such
wears
the
whimsy
of
Tribeca
Park
at
this
moment,
nearly
folding
in
on
itself
with
the
sunglass-bedraggled
hordes
of
festival
goers
clamoring
for
sweet
release
from
their
self-inflicted
congratulatory
charms.
One
can
almost
feel,
thick
as
Cassandra's
song
obliterated
into
smoke
and
turned
orange
as
an
homage
to
a
social
media
trend
housed
in
the
reputation
of
a
filmmaker
whose
tastes
ran
toward
the
pastel,
the
push
and
pull
of
New
Yorkers
who
call
themselves
native
with
the
newcomers
lighting
upon
the
area
they
have
chosen
for
their
annual
carnival
of
glory,
gold,
and
film.
But
what
are
we
to
do
with
such
anarchy?
I
am
but
a
humble
observer,
caught
in
the
mess.
We
are
but
pawns
thirsting
for
quench
on
a
hot
summer
day,
aching
for
release
from
our
feet
with
the
smallest
trade
from
our
dignity,
unsure
what
to
make
of
the
city's
humble
claim
that
it
bought
this
lot
for
merely
$3950
-
but
from
whom?
Would
that
my
internet
would
work
on
this
fine
day...
In
the
area
was
an
overpopulation
of
starry-eyed
sophistocates
drowning
their
ennui
in
pointing
this
way
and
that,
striding
fast
past
infrastructure
and
unbothered
by
demands
on
their
time,
in
fact
thriving
in
the
knowledge
that
they
are
scarce
and
the
world
has
no
right
to
them
and
this
they
earned
through
achievement,
and
also
pigeons.
I
stopped
one
on
its
commute
to
ask
its
opinion
on
the
local
comings,
goings,
and
stayings,
and
in
return
for
the
question
it
offered
this:
There
are
hopes
I
hold
for
the
far
future
-
Change
for
which
I
wish
I
could
rush
the
fight
And
find
the
battle
fair
and
the
road
steep
But
not
ruined,
rough
but
not
gone,
and
might
I
find
myself
there,
would
you
come?
Would
you
Keep
us
safe
together
on
the
path,
or
Soft
in
the
grass?
Would
you
walk
with
me
too?
Would
you
remind
me
what
the
walk
was
for?
For
fate
was
always
Orpheus
to
me
And
I
forever
its
Euridice.
