Street corners and
\nentry steps unexpectedly populated with wide-awake citizens. The 24-hour
\nStarbucks seems to double as a homeless shelter, its all-bar seating
\nhalf-filled with sleepers, while the other half maintain a dazed stare in no
\nparticular direction.<\/p>\n
A young couple
\nstands out with their darting eyes and skittish energy as one huddles in a
\ncorner behind a trashcan. The girl stands and watches him between suspicious
\nbackward glances, one hand stroking her opposite arm. They trade places, he
\ndizzily passes items to her before he tips and finds a column to hold him up.<\/p>\n
Outside, a man on a
\nclosed business’s doorstep raps to the streets: “I am legendary!
\nI-S-I-T!” Two doors down, a flaming piece of sidewalk cardboard warms one
\nhand, while the other swipes a brush, painting on another square.<\/p>\n
