Park it

I was walking through Washington Square Park on an increasingly more frequent daytrip into the office when I saw a group comprised entirely of old people sitting in a circle while some sort of tour guide character made expansive hand gestures and pointed to things.

That’s weird, I thought, as I believe the average age of person in Washington Square Park at any given moment is roughly 20.7. Also, a big group of the elderly is, by nature, sort of startling.

But then I thought about it and realized that the bespotted lady with blue hair and jaunty, knitted sweater depicting a sizable gumball machine could leap up, inject herself with heroin and start giving a handjob to the gentleman with suspenders and see-through hands, and it still wouldn’t be the most unsettling thing I’ve seen in Washington Square Park.
