Cities have turbulence.

Not just overcrowded streets with bodies banging off each other trying to get to places they’ll complain about when they’re there;

Turbulence like the skies, invisible but palpable, an energy, an aura of dissatisfaction, some days worse than others, when one canister of pepper spray hanging from a key ring could turn an intersection into a mosh pit and a bus into a panic attack.
