5:30 a.m. About to hop the Green Line “EL” @ MLK Drive ( A word of caution, if you think that you might at all look like a vic/mark, I wouldn’t advise that you do this). The train comes and I board. The car is empty except for one dude (let’s call him, ol’ boy). He’s a hype. I ain’t trippin’ though. I knew that @ 5:30 a.m. I was about to board the hype express. So, I cop a seat on the same side of the car as as ol’ boy, but 4 rows back. It’s early, I’m tired. I need to close my eyes for a minute (again i wouldn’t advise anyone to do this). I look around – survey the area to make sure things are cool. Coast is clear. I drop my bag to the floor, put my leg through the shoulder strap to prevent a snatch and grab, and close my eyes. I’m trying to doze, and then I start to hear what sounds like water - alot of water hitting the floor of the car. I sit up – open my eyes – look around to see where what I assumed to be a leak might be coming from. It stops. Nothin’ on the floor. Just me and – ol’ boy. Coast is clear. I shut my big browns. Soon as I close my eyes the water starts again. As I’m sittn’ up to investigate – my legs/feet shift, and I hear a splashing sound. Mildly startled and severely puzzled, I look down to find what I think to be water/beer on the ground, and on my bag (cold-ass leather Kenneth Cole briefcase). And — it’s coming from where – ol’ boy - is sitting. I yell out, “yo - WTF is you doin!?!” He jumps up, his back to me, mumblin’ and fumblin’, actin’ all perplexed and shit. And then he starts talkin’/slurin’ about, “Damn man, what’s goin’ on? What’s that shit on the ground?!?” He keeps on mumblin and fumblin – lookin all around… And then he turns in my direction and slowly staggers toward me before the train turns causing him to fall into a nearby seat. He’s keeps goin on and on and on… Now by that time I’ve already figured out that – ol’ boy - done pissed on the ground, and on my bag. How did I solve the mystery? Well, when he turned and started in my direction — his joint was hangin’ out. Still drippn’ with pee pee…
