There Is A Two Act Play Somewhere In There

Scene: City hall subway station
People are everywhere. train is taking forever.

A poor (based on his lack of clean clothes) Black man sees a man he knows. That man he knows just so happens to be sitting next to me. The poor black man comes over & squeezes between me & him. They strike up a conversation. It went a lil something like this.

Man 1 (dirty dude)
Man 2 (dirty dudes friend)

Man 1: "You know what? I saw a bunch of crackers upstairs fighting. They were all "yo suck man!" and "Fuck you, eat shit!"

Man 2 (dirty dudes friend): "Ha. fuckin white people"

-----A few seconds pass------

Man 1: "You know what? The other day i had a big rat down in the kitchen. It was huge, the size of a cat.  The kids were all screaming."

Man 2: "Coulda been a muskrat"

Random woman: "or maybe a possum!"

Man 1: "No, it looked like a real big rat. like THIS long.  What does a possum look like?"

Man 2: "oh it got a pointy nose and sharp teeth. you dont mess with possums. A rat, he'll run when he see's ya. but a possum, he gives you a look. its like hes saying "go on try me, i'll fuck your ass up""

Man 1: "Maybe it was a possum. it had some big teeth. and a pointy nose."

Random woman: "Yea i had one of those in my house the other day. damn thing came after me. I kicked it across my kitchen. gotta really put it to em."

Man 1: "damn... damn..man those possums"

----Train comes----
