Mickey Z.’s Dream No. 347


Wake up, it’s Storytelling Saturday

Once upon a time…

I was waiting for the #6 train at the 51st Street station when a guy who’s either drunk or high yells at his wife/girlfriend/sister: “Get the fuck over here!” Everyone on the platform turns to look…so he invokes a double negative (“Nobody better say nothing to me") before returning to the verbal abuse of his wife/girlfriend/sister.


Cue the dream sequence…

I decide it has to end here and tell the clown to back off and shut the fuck up. True to his bravado, he moves on me without hesitation. I sidestep his drunken charge and flick out a finger strike that turns his eyes red and watery. He clutches his face as I snap a front kick to the nuts…double him over for a knee blow to the nose. The sickening crack has spectators wincing and gasping as the train rumbles into the station. His wife/girlfriend/sister stares at me...but I just shrug and say: “No one expects a slacker to be a black belt.”


Back to reality…

I’m on the #6 train wishing (a little too hard) that this really happened. I switch to the W train and see the sky as we emerge from tunnel at Queensboro Plaza…the signal for everyone to pull out cell phones and tell their roommate/spouse/partner that they are almost home and they saw this obnoxious man cursing at his wife/girlfriend/sister a few minutes ago.

Speaking of violence...

On this day 42 years ago, Cassius Clay (soon to become Muhammad Ali) beat Sonny Liston to win the heavyweight crown.

Is this the right whale or wrong wale ?
