Above: live eels at the daily market under the Manhattan Bridge (on the Manhattan side) in Chinatown. One had slithered its way out of the tub. Most of the vendors sell produce but there are also a number of seafood mongers (sea snails, fishes, and seemingly any sort of sea creature). There are also a seamster and a cobbler. Sometimes I feel just like that eel.

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away.
