today the subway smells oddly like someone cleaned something in it, and also like someone really, really vomited.

the mentally ill one in the subway, me.

would it be inappropriate, when i get to the bottom of the steps at the exit of the F train, to cry and scream, "I DON'T WANT ANY EXERCISE RIGHT NOW!!!!!"

i feel "at risk" by the number of times i envision myself doing something "clearly mentally ill" in public view, coupled with the number of times i see a middle-aged woman who probably once-upon-a-time had the faculties to 'contain her shit' doing something "clearly mentally ill" in public view

new york is so bad for you, run for the hills if you can

Brooklyn is a sick, sick joke.
