- The Raw Characters # 2

L.M. one of my favorite Raw Characters of East Village

Ghost Writer - Jewelry Designer - Building Super

"American Super Woman" Exhibit by Maria Garozi

There are days of my life in New York City that resemble to the rhythm of the Ike & Tina Turner song;Nutbush City Limits. Days that there are just no limits at all actually. You wake up, run to your morning cubicle work like Dolly Parton, then run to your second job 6-11pm, then you go for a drink with S.T. and Guille your new good friend who is visiting from Spain, and then you walk back home realizing that your super L.M. is still cleaning the street.

You try to start a conversation with her woman to woman:

"Hey Lynn, at least we both know it is the end of the day. Now we can relax"

"I have to write now" she replies

"You are writing a book?"

"I am a ghost writer. Dont forget that ghost writers do work very late at night like the ghosts" she replied to me.

And just like that you realize why New York is the one and only ghost city.

"I am proud of you Lynn" I said loudly as I was walking up the stairs to my apartment.

I just wanted to share with you this moment. It just felt right to do so. It was such a New York moment.

Hope you all keep creating even during the late hours wherever you are. Just keep it up.

Much love to all,
