Sights, sounds, other sensations

Slightly melodic chime of the alarm clock. Sun peeking in. Whine and rattle of our schizophrenic shower. From scalding hot to Antarctic in a split second; then back again. Odd fluorescent lighting in the apartment building makes it feel like a prison, vaguely. (Eco-friendliness has never been compared to incarceration?) Another whine and rattle, this time of the 4 Uptown. Quick peer around the subway car, shades and hues tell the tale - a majority become a minority.

More later, obviously, but it seems well evident that living in a city is an overwhelmingly sensory experience. Sights. Sounds. And other sensations. They're always there hanging on the background. One of the interesting side elements of city - City? - life.
