yesterday i was on the subway and out of nowhere this older jamaican lady just started saying "my oh my, i can feel my battery charging, its charging up inside of me, i can feel it charging. yes yes, its charging up! yes it is" getting louder and louder as she went on. then she sang about the lord for a while then she told a story about a fair caucasian man who tried to stop her from singing on the subway- him! stop her! it was the stupidest thing she had ever seen in her life. aint no one gonna stop a beautiful black woman from doing what she likes on the subway! and then she did some things like march back and forth through the car and jump up and down and walk funny, to demonstrate her freedom. then she told us to thank the lord for guiding the subway into its stops the best was at the end when she said that no matter how you live your life, the lord lets you into heaven and forgives you. "lay down. lay down with any nasty disgusting thing you like. the lord will forgive you. thats the lord's way" what lord is she talking about anyway? the gods that i know of all do have rules by which to govern everyone. then i was walking howie last night and there were these scary guys all talking about some fight like: "he wants to fight huh? i'll fucking fight him, and he will DIE" and then the other would say "hell yeah, someone should do that." as they drank 40s out of brown bags. for some reason howie stopped walking and just stared at them. i was like "come on howie, lets walk..." hoping he would move along. but the guys saw him and one went, "awwwww he likes us, come here boy! " and then he got down on the ground and just started playing with howiekins. then the guy was like "you're so soft, yes you are" all baby voice like. and i said "he is a very clean doggie" and the other guys started playing with him going "you're a good boy!" then we continued our walk and they went back to talking about killing people. and right in front of our apartment there were teenagers smoking pot out on a stoop and howie saw a stray cat just as he was peeing, so he started to run in mid-pee and one teenager said "whoa! cool! your dog can run and piss at the same time!" i said, "he tries." i love strangers.
