A straphanger's diary of the ridiculous happenings aboard the A train. A circus of entertainment for only $2.50!

DAY 57

This afternoon a middle-age thuggish guy* came zig-zagging through the train car spouting some preachy advice for us all. 

"The devil made me smoke weed."
"It was the devil that made me a hater. I hated on everyone. The only way through is with god on your side."
"I ain't gonna steal your watch or your phone. Life's got a bigger purpose than that, folks."

I looked into his eyes and he seemed genuinely sincere. Not crazy. Just trying to help us all be a little bit more kind and considerate. 

*A reformed guy formerly known as a thug. I'm pretty sure that the tattoo tears near his eye represent gang kills.
