New York City Cowboys
In New York City, where do you go
if you want to compete in some rodeo?
In order to rent a studio in Greenwich Village,
you need extra high income and a privilege.
Living there means signing a long-term lease.
The only men seen on horseback are the police.
In the midst of the high-rises, it would seem quite strange,
to find a wide open prairie and a home on the range.
In this urban setting, cattle do not roam the streets.
You can only find them in grocery markets as meats.
I want to get out of the city; away from the rest.
Get me a plane ticket. I want to fly out west.
