insistent






- John Zorn


Date: Monday, January 31, 2005, 6:47 pm
Line: "Richmond" BART train (car 1831x)
Location: between Hayward and Bay Fair stations

A somewhat haggard gentleman boards at Bay Fair station. He wears a lightweight black jacket with heavily smudged red collars. His hair is a salt and pepper mix of grey and brown, and under his scraggily beard and moustace is a face weathered and tan from exposure to the elements. Upon boarding, the gentleman scouts the train for somewhere to sit. He discovers the indication and swipes it to the floor to clear the seat. Having secured a seat, he rummages through the rest of the train in search of an abandoned newspaper. Finding a paper in the back of the car, he returns to his seat, sits down, and begins reading the Sporting Green section.
