Eventually, it’s time to put down your roots in each step of your foot, to deny the possibility of stepping aside for anyone, to declare, firmly, that you belong here, that you have a purpose and a direction that cannot be ceded. You have a right to exist and to move unimpeded towards your destination. Others may move aside. You will only stop, patiently, until they acknowledge that they must move around you.
That you will bow to no one.
There is only one power to submit to, and it exists beyond the superficial territoriality of the street.
(Contrast this with another Territory post from LA long ago)
