Tonight on the Platform
Danny to me at rehearsal tonight: “I got my subway shoes on”
Me: (looking down at his black sneakers) “How come you call them your subway shoes?”
Danny: “Cause I cut off the back part here to make ’em more comfortable & not look so fancy as when I got ’em you know. You know you can’t look too fancy down there in the trains or else people’ll think you got too much money & won’t give you none of that green. I could wear a different silk suit every day down there but I wouldn’t make no money you know. You gotta have that little bit of a homeless thing goin’ on down there in the trains. That’s how you make all them dead presidents.”
Me: “Somehow, Danny, I kinda think you could wear a solid gold plated suit & you’d still clean up underground.” : )
