lying liars
snapped
as
i walked past
on my way
to
trudge
up
36
stairs
the escalator
in the times square subway station
had been broken
again
in mid december
its broken more often then it works
last nite toonman and i were discusing
how the mta
would do well
to keep
a repair person
on staff
on site
shortly
after the beginning of 2013
'they'
blocked off
the broken escalator
with
this
big blue wall
that narrows
the 36 step staircase
so during rush hour
going up or down the stairs
is a slow process
no one in new york
seems
to
'get'
the premise
of
'stay to the right'
that sign
was recently revised
to
'on or about 4/11/13'
because
the original sign
promised
completion
by
4/1/13
was that an april fool joke gone wrong?
i doubt it
the mta doesnt seem to have much of a sense of humor
the walk to the working escalator at 42nd and 7th
is quite a long walk
especially
if you already have walked
to this exit
and
discovered
this sign
another
myth
is this
heatwave
we're having
while
some of the country
is still getting snow
we're 20+ degrees warmer
in nyc
than
'normal'
well here's a fact
every
single
april
as far back as i can recall
there's
been
one week
where the temps
suddenly
soar
up
into
the high 70s
even the 80s
everyone marvels
at this arrival of summer temps
the week ends
with
colder temps
that remain through the end of april
am i
the only one
who notices?
