​There once was a person who wouldn’t leave a visit to New York without a stash of bagels for the road. Another who had a standing appointment for their nails to be painted red every Tuesday at the salon around the corner. Another whose apartment blared opera in the morning and 80’s rap at night.​ Now, the bagels sit in the freezer; the standing Tuesday nail appointment is taken by someone who chooses light pink; and the apartment is quiet. Such are the intricacies of abbreviated routine: Retraced chalk masterpieces disappear by drizzle or downpour, and fresh drawings materialize on the next sunny day.
