Tonight Underground…

Guy sitting on bench on platform to me: “It’s crazy slow tonight”
Me: “I know, what’s up with that. It’s like all of Manhattan’s asleep”
Guy on Bench: “Yeah it’s the mood man”
Me: “So were you performing?”
Guy on Bench: “No”
Me: “Then how do you know it’s slow?”
Guy on Bench: “Oh, I was outside rockin’ a “Money For Weed” sign in Times Square”
Me: “Ahhhh…I see…”
Guy on Bench: “Hey could I play a song for a minute on your guitar? I had a guitar but someone smashed it…”
Me: “Ummm…yeah, sure. (guy plays insanely beautifully)
Guy: “Yeah I like to play any guitar I see ’cause someone smashed mine”
Me: “Um… well, here’s a crazy thought, have you ever considered taking some of the money you spend on weed & buying a new guitar?”
Guy: “Oh, yeah…I guess I could do that. (beat beat beat) Yeah, wow, that’s a cool idea. Yeah, I’m gonna do that.”
