We’d been walking in endless rectangles and now we were near the candy store again. The lights were out, the security gate down. We leaned up against the wall of a bank and I could feel the cool stone on my back, the billions of dollars thrumming through wires beneath and behind me, or on the night waves above. I wasn’t quite sure how they traveled. Or how much they got out anymore. Sam Lipsyte
About This Quote

The poem is referring to the nightlife of New York City. The nightlife of New York City is known for being one of the gayest places in the world. The gay culture thrives in New York because of its many nightclubs and bars. This means that everyone goes out to have a good time, without thinking too much about what they are doing or why they are doing it.

They just go out and have fun, without worrying about the consequences of their actions. The culture is one where everyone can be themselves and it exudes a sense of community because everyone looks out for everyone else.
