Tried to take a nap, but couldn't sleep. Went downtown to Freedom Tower. I thought I would feel something. But everything is numb now. Picked up the subway uptown. Exited at 72nd Street. Walked two blocks to 74th and Broadway and collapsed. A cab driver pulled me into his car, and this is all I remember...
Being sprawled across the greasy seat of a taxi, and then later I tell the cabbie to keep driving, and we go on aimless, bumpy rides down one-way streets, over the spitting stinking steam into the oily newness of the New York night, and there are strobes from a welding crew and blood from chewing apart my lower lip.
