My Heart Leaps Up

when I behold

.....a movie theater's marquee with the titles "Rashomon" and "Taxi Driver" on it. It's a time warp is what it is. All of Greenwich Village is like a Land That Time Forgot. Even those used-book sellers sell porn from the 1960s and 70s.

A policeman, trying to break up a little congregation of dope pushers on the sidewalk, says "take your time, fellas". Half-sarcasm, half-exasperation, full-noir.
