Saha. Period.

Today I imagined the center of gravity changing in skyscrapers around manhattan as people moved closer to eastern facing windows to get a bit of sun. As a result buildings begin to lean toward the sun, too, and follow it throughout the day, like big sunflowers.

Delivery men and tourist walking through the streets will also start to slowly lean toward the sun in order to be parallel to these buildings, unconsciously, as they guide our sense of what is straight and vertical. In this manner people’s shoes begin to ware at their edges, due to their now uneven stride, and we can explain why there are so many old shoe repair shops in midtown Manhattan.

In the late afternoons, during the exodus of the office dwellers from Manhattan buildings sway violently back and forth as people empty out. People in New Jersey (whoever they are) jealously think all New York is partying. They hum to themselves “raise your hands in the air, raise em like you really don’t care.” The sound from this massive unconscious hymn heats the air as it blows toward Manhattan, pulling in moisture from the Hudson on it’s way over, and gives rise to the famously humid New York summers.
