Stony silence as we cross the bridge into Manhattan [Cove Island Park] and the streets [paths] begin slipping past. Every moment of your life brings you to the moment you’re experiencing now. And now. And now. I’ve never have been on the streets [paths] this early [many times], predawn, and the driver [DK] agrees that it’s eerie and perfect.

So, I gather you do not miss, and probably will not return to the streets of Gotham? Those commutes did give birth to some great stories though. 😊

Yes, beautiful in every respect. But the words Stony Silence don’t fit somehow…. Or have I got a wrong perception?
