The serpentine highways reach into the city like surgical tubes feeding the city's heart. A body under constant operation.
The highways are riddled with shredded scraps of tires from 18-wheelers. The truckers they are are molting this season.
The blood of the city pours out onto the city's freeways and thoroughfares: night-time revelers, the homeless and the beggars. Credit receipts and cash pass hands like a bad word: potent restriction. And the city's blood, its people, mill about who, when, where, and how.
The ebb and the flow of a city, its people, their actions, a life. The city, a metaphor for you and I, going about our business, in a world we didn't create, into a night that conceals us forever.
