Full Stop

April 20, 2020

The city that never sleeps is taking a nap.
Streets are empty.
Restaurants are for take-out only.
Bars are closed.
Theaters are dark every day.
Streets have no traffic jams.
Times Square is quiet.
Shops are closed.
Churches are empty.
A New York minute now takes a full 60 seconds.
