Adversity is a great teacher, but this teacher makes us pay dearly for its instruction; and often the profit we derive, is not worth the price we paid. I am alone here in New York, no longer a we. Mothers born on relief have their babies on relief. Nothingness, truly, seems to be the condition of these New York people.
