I\u2019m now a part of this living, breathing being that is a city. This city. It helps me to think of cities that way, even ones that I don\u2019t fully feel at home in \u2013 like a body. And I\u2019m like a blood transfusion. I know this isn\u2019t my city, my body, but it\u2019s where my life flows now, and so I best flow with it. This body holds me \u2013 it is my literal and figurative structure. I am one of the millions of cells rushing through the veins of this place, and although I\u2019m a relative newcomer, I can feel that this body is not well. I can feel that familiar illness \u2013 it\u2019s the same as any city I\u2019ve ever lived in..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every body is weakened and bowed under the weight of capitalism.
