heat makes ya strange

exiting the movie theater yesterday into the blast furnace that was kendall square, my friend and i walked while weighing our options for the closest a/c. i see a guy wearing a skull mask. with a blue oxford shirt, madras shorts and loafers. he is with a friend and they both are carrying small plastic shopping bags. they stop on a traffic island. we watch. the skull man takes off his shirt. he is tall and lean. he starts shimmying into a sun dress, takes off his shorts, then tops off the summery ensemble with a saucy pink beach hat. his friend goes mexicali.

yes, we watched the wardrobe change. yes, all kinds of people stopped and took pix, cuz everybody has smartphones, so i know i'm not the only person sharing this bit of freak. we strangers all watching got to share a laugh too.

skullman and bandit carried on, as did we, to the next excellent adventure.
