Hmm...
Then he went on to say that there's no point killing someone in America cause "they's gon catch you and you gon end up locked up for 25 years" and how they "found Ayatollah and strung his ass up".
Hmm...
He stretched his lanky legs out in front of him and had his hands between his thighs. He went back to talk about his gripes and how he'd still get his rent money and kill people if the Army shipped him overseas (insert old man, kinda-crazy laugh here). I got distracted at this point because an older white man got on the train at Grand Army Plaza and took the seat right next to my "professor" and then proceeded to tell him "Shh!" and "Go easy on my ear" while covering it up. Are you kidding me? Anyway, at some point during his rant, he started talking about his daughter's attempted murder. His oldest daughter is 42 and he was asking out loud, "How you gonna try to kill someone over some crack-cocaine? You ain't got nothing to live for if you gonna try to kill a woman over some crack-cocaine. I took that pistol and I whipped him. My daughter? He tryna kill my daughter? But I ain't kill him though." The story came back around to going to Iraq or Afghanistan to kill somebody and get $250 extra in his VA check (insert old man, kinda-crazy laugh here).
Hmm...
great story btw. you can't make this shit up, i swear.
ReplyDeleteIt was too funny. Remind me and I'll do an impersonation of him when we meet up
ReplyDeleteThis shit was brilliant....Im actually writing a novel based on a homeless man. Some of their musings are insightful as hell.
