I made the comment about how, you know, the grid plan emanates from our weaknesses, this layout of avenues and streets in New York City, this system of 90 degree angles. To me the grid plan is puritan, it's homogenizing, in a city where there is no homogenization available, there is only total existence, total cacophony, a total flowing of human ethnicities and tribes and beings and gradations of awareness and consciousness and cruising. And this woman turns to me, she goes "I've never even thought of that!", she goes "I can't imagine it, everyone likes the grid plan!" And of course the question is, who is "everyone"? I mean, whoever that is under the white comforter, cuddled up with 34th Street and Broadway, existing on the concrete of this city, hungry and disheveled, struggling to crawl their way onto this island, with all their machinated rages and hellishness and self-orchestrated purgatories, I mean, what does that person think about the grid plan?
