It is a cold intimacy, brushing shoulders and avoiding sustained eye contact. Where can you find meaningful touch amid all these people? The routine handshakes and warm embraces of friends in village life is not often found in the urgent motion of urban life.
Touch comes in different forms. A seductive stare from the 2D image of a stylish blond. A courteous warning from a warm masculine voice, "Stand back, the subway doors are closing." This is the urban touch. And so hearts of men and women are stacked upon one another, but with no mortor of meaningful touch to bind them together.
