Third World Country

Bus on Broadway

"I've been thinking a lot about the Mayans, about the Incas, about the Pueblo Indians, about all those civilizations that built great cities only to then mysteriously and suddenly disappear. 'And nobody knows where they went,' said Miss Shell, my third grade teacher. I know where they went, because I've seen New York.  New York is my favorite Third World country, but the place simply doesn't work."
