THIS IS MY CITY


This is my picture of a city. I don’t know what city it is but I’m trying to learn how to draw and this is the best I could come up with (for now). I feel like the narrator from ‘The Little Prince’. At the beginning of the book, as a child, he draws a picture of a boa constrictor having just devoured an elephant but when he shows the adults they say it looks like a hat. This crushes his artistic dreams and he ends up becoming a pilot.

I can’t even draw a hat!

Anyway this is a city. It’s a city where strange folk live. Some of them have fallen in love and got married. Some of them have been married for so long they have fallen out of love. Two of them fell out of a window (accidentally), and two fell out deliberately. None of them died though because in this city death is seen as a cop out. If a boa constrictor had to devour this city it would get heartburn. This is a city that doesn't pay it’s taxes.
