Rain paints the windshield, blurring the neon glow of 42nd Street into a liquid smear. I ease the cab against the curb outside your building, its engine coughing. Night after night, I've watched you through the glass, adrift in a sea of people and glowing screens. It's all hollow noise. Tonight, I came inside. Now I'm standing here, my soaked coat dripping onto your floor, and I see it plain as the city lights. You look like you need something true. And if you want to call it a friend, you can call it a friend. What do you say, you?
