This is a photo I did not take of a young black guy with the whole low pants, do-rag, big shoes thing going on, absentmindedly whistling along with and nodding his head in time to a subway busker’s heavily Spanish-accented version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.
Perhaps it’s silly to post a link to a blog that purports to be written by a cat in honour of my Vanaema, but I like this piece and the tone is right.
