in shays car

The main difference between New York and L.A. is that there is a big cemetery near Park Slope that my girlfriend and I toured in an old blue Jeep in the summer of 2017 that her friend drove us around in through the cemetery roads and under its old trees like we were on a safari of the dead and around one turn all the buildings in the distance suddenly rose up like large versions of the tombs doing the same in front of them and the buildings appeared like the tombs of the living while the tombs were like the buildings of the dying and where earlier in the day we had had a Lyft driver in a beekeepers mask who told us that apartments were really just storage units for our bodies and our bodies just storage units for our souls and then toward the end of our ride she got real quiet and asked "Do you like sweet chicken?"
