The Great Human Something or Other
On the subway last night at around 10:20 PM, we were dying to ask our fellow passengers the following questions:
- So, how are you liking Roderick Hudson?
- So, is that rainbow-colored belt thing supposed to hang down like a limp, tie-dyed penis between your outstretched knees?
- Also, is slouching like that kind of hard on your lower back?
- Is that tiny thing with the earpiece that just beeped a phone? An MP3 player? Why are you trying to hide it from me? Can you even get those in America?
- Do you work on the whole superstyled-version-of-Yoko-Ono effect? Or is it just the chance combo of that expensive leather duster and those glasses?
- What's up with the picture book of horses?
- Where exactly did you learn so much about Bhaga, and are you really sure those two friends of yours need to be brought up to speed?
- How much of that quart of Edy's ice cream are you actually going to eat on the subway? The whole thing?
- Does anyone have something I can read? Anything?

See? He's only pretending to be asleep. When he shifts in his seat, he blinks his eyes open for just a second, and stares at one of us. It's very spooky.
I wish he'd stop.
