This weekend, I think New York gave more than it took away, but perhaps if I’d stayed more than three days, that might not be the case. I would be unable to sustain that same momentum. At some point, I’d need to do something very boring.

Being an outsider (and frequent visitor) myself, I can relate to almost all of the things you mention. I particularly like the way in which you suggest that the city drains you, or that it has a tendency to take precious parts of you: “But, sure enough, next morning, a large part of me is missing/I’ll go find it.”

Or did you just mean that you were hungry? Anyway, nice work.
