Trying to find the where of where of 9 East 71st Street:
9 East 71st Street apparently a hub, a hub amidst hubbub, a hub of the nerve center named Mannahattas, a hubbeezlebub… What are your whereabouts 9 East 71 Street? Your whyabouts, your whyabouts with and without reason.
9 East 71st Street is surrounded by other notable addresses, multitudes of people. Babies, toddlers, kids, pre-pubescent, post-pubescent, teens– teamin’ with teens– 20-somethings, 30-somethings, middle agers, vital and vitiated oldsters.
Street musicians. Buskers.
Homeless people.
Street theater.
Street musicians aren’t necessarily homeless people, and homeless people aren’t necessarily musicians. The street is more theater than actors of the theater, and the actors know it, while nevertheless happy to be off the street.
Some actors are musicians, busking in the silence of cinema, or Moulin Rouge. Or, from homeless to the silver screen, then back again… to homelessness–even worse.
What if it was a resident of solitary, stinking, out of touch reeking, so close yet so far from Central Park 9 East 71st Street, revealing a peaking, through a peep peolpe peeking at a poor definitely post-pubertal somewhat sneaking spy, entrepreneur, debonair, just look at the hair, the teeth– the jeans!
