Idol-Head with Traffic-Light Eyes

Bowery

"It is a myth, the city, the rooms and windows, the steam-spitting streets; for anyone, everyone, a different myth, an idol-head with traffic-light eyes winking a tender green, a cynical red. This island, floating in river water like a diamond iceberg."
Truman Capote, Portraits and Observations
