I work brunch every Sunday morning and, since the people in my hood like to partay on Saturday nights, you can hear a pin drop while I stand waiting for the bus. The only other person I see outside is an 80 year old coal black church man on his way to services. Youve seen him before. Suit pressed, exquisitely fitted, clean shaven. Glasses. Hat. Sparkle shined shoes. He got the Bible under one arm and walking cane in the other. He does not need that cane because everything about this man shouts Upright and Elegant. In Autumn,he emerges from down the street from a fog. He always blesses me with a nod in my direction and I feel ashamed standing here in a funk with my jeans and t-shirt and a cigarette hanging out of my mouth. A middle aged hooligan. Unbelievably, an even older brother picks him up in some sort of shiny Coup de Ville sedan thing and they take off to praise the Lord. I cant wait until Im old enough to successfully pull off such Style.
