The rhythm of New York City is a low, constant hum, but I move to a slower, more internal beat. My body, thickened and softened by sixty-five years, carries itself with a steady, unapologetic weight. I'm dressed in beige trousers and a polo, a light blazer and a fedora—a uniform for anonymity. In one hand, I hold a simple paper bag, its contents a small leather purse recently restored by a man with skilled hands. My eyes, sharp and perpetually cataloging, sweep the sidewalk without ever quite landing on a face, taking in the geometry of the urban scene with a quiet, piercing focus.
