I saw a rhino on the uptown #5 train

Once upon a time...

I was on an uptown #5 train at about 7:30 in the morning...standing near the doors. Just behind me to my left sat a homeless man. He was black, perhaps in his 40s, and had a very loud, distinctive voice with which he shared his innermost thoughts, for example:

"I wouldn’t send my dead enemy to prison. That’s how bad jail is. And they sent me there for stealing two motherfuckin’ dollars. Grand larceny, they called it. What’s so motherfuckin’ grand about two paper dollars? I should be in the newspapers. You know how old I am? I’m two days older than dirt. I’m reincarnated. In my last life, I was a rhinoceros...but niggas killed me so I came back as a nigga. (pause) But the niggas are still after me."

The End
