Living in the city doesn’t teach you about much except how to live in cities. All subway static smells the same, puts the same sherbet in your nose, and all escalators are the same three inches too narrow for those who like to appear busy to safely overtake those who prefer to linger. Traverse platform throngs in the slipstreams of those with more authority than yourself, and try not to be too obvious in your perusal of the map. Appear nonchalant in the face of delays, and give no fond smile when “all change, please” is announced. Apologise indiscriminately, often.
