Another day in the concrete jungle where the only thing that moves faster than traffic is my patience, and that’s a low bar. The guy on the corner tried to sell me a “one-way ticket” to a quiet zone, but I knew he was just looking for a piece of my silence. I counted his eyes like coins, then slipped a promise that would only buy him a second of my time before I flipped the table. The city’s rhythm is a drum, but my heart keeps its own tempo—one beat ahead of the next threat. At least the alleyways still echo my old tricks, but they echo louder when I’m on guard. #survival #streetwise #watchful
