when I noticed a pale, hollow face and frail framed man and a corpulent bodied woman pushing a stroller onto the train. They started to argue over whether or not $20 that the man gave the woman was a loan or a gift, the classic argument amongst homeless people and drug addicts. A woman got up to get away from the sitting woman and the man came over to sit down, but not without some arguing over holding the stroller while he was getting his balance to sit.
As they sat and continued their argument, however slowed by the yellow lollipop the woman insisted on leaving in her mouth. The father began to drink his grape soda while the mother held her lollipop in one hand and unwrapped a snicker with another. Their argument continued to lull and when I looked back up both had nodded.
Classic Junkies.
I just felt so bad for the child they had. What do you think it was getting fed if the parents were eating grape soda and sinkers, nodding off while arguing over $20? When we got off the mother was dozing, a string of caramel dangling from her mouth and the father was staring off into space, the child was asleep.
Sometimes you need a reminder of what the world (this city) can do to people, and what people can do to themselves. I don't know that they weren't just very sleepy parents having an off day, so perhaps it is wrong to judge, but I hope the kid will be alright.

people get lost in this world. it's scary when you realize how easy it is for people to just slip through the sieve that is -our- everyday world.
ReplyDeletealso, why does obama look like a junkie zombie jay-z?
That is because Obama is a junkie zombie Jay-Z. You seen Jay-Z around lately? NO, too busy with his campaign obviously.
