One day I'm going to follow the Train Super Star Beggars. You know the ones I'm talking about. Those train performers that work straphangers with their pleas and dazzle us with their commitment to get our dollars. They manage to be on every train, all day and all night. Its like they're superheroes!
In order of least popular to most popular, the Train Super Star Beggars include: the little boys with tattered t-shirts but fresh kicks that robotically state: "Ladies and gentleman, my name is Tyquan/Tyron/Tyrese and I am selling candy to raise money for my basketball team."; the skinny, toothless morenito, viejito who sings "Lean back, lean back, lean back!" all while leaning back as if working a limbo stick: and my all time favorite, the three brothers (or that's what I tell myself) that hop onto the train and hippity hop their way into my heart. House song on. Older brother kicks, drops to the floor and freezes into a b-boy pose. Middle brother smacks older bros hand, jumps in and all of a sudden we see the main star.
(Rolling down the train like a human wheel.) "Go Tito! Go Tito! Go Tito!"
Then, cute little Tito pulls out his baseball cap and asks for money.
