Although I am fairly certain that my words will not do justice to this man, I have been urged to post his description all the same. Last week, on my commute home, I found my hand fairly itching for my camera when I spotted the guy. Lurching haggardly down the aisle in my direction, he positioned himself roughly four feet away to wait for the doors to open at the next stop, so I got a good long look at him.<\/p>\n
He must have been in his mid-50s – a tall black man with sort of a flattened version of Eddie Murphy’s hair from the “Buckwheat Sings!” sketch<\/a>, clutching a Dominick’s bag in his left hand. He was wearing an enormously baggy green short sleeved Chicago t-shirt, denim shorts, black nylon knee socks pulled all the way up, and white-on-white adidas trainers<\/a>. Too clean to be homeless, too grizzled to be sane, he was exactly the kind of character that, once I’ve spotted them, I normally find myself idly creating a biography for. But all I really wanted to know was what’s in the bag, bub<\/i>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although I am fairly certain that my words will not do justice to this man, I have been urged to…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/custom-deluxe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/custom-deluxe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/custom-deluxe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/custom-deluxe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/custom-deluxe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/custom-deluxe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/custom-deluxe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/custom-deluxe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/custom-deluxe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
