So yesterday I watch a lone homeless warrior infiltrate and assume the role of a Columbia student. His dark matted hair and bold stench managed to elude any and all security with an ever so slight hint of swag, swagger he developed while becoming this homeless kingpin of sorts. While he, the homeless man, drifted from one end of the lecture hall to the other, he looked around with a sort of smug, “Yeah, this’ll do” face and chose a seat near dead center of the room to roost. With his hat now pulled over his face, he muttered to himself and something inside me erupted, laughter.
I couldn’t believe this guy had the balls to do something so not only illegal but awkward. I couldn’t believe that someone who was so obviously not a student was now finally spotted by a teacher, and still remained posted. She approached him carefully, often looking back at the other snickering students, and asked him “Sir, do you belong here sir?” which made him upset. He looked back and told her he was a student and he was supposed to be here for lecture. She was almost convinced as she walked away from him even more cautiously then she approached. As more and more student began laughing, the teacher realized he was indeed a vagabond and shoed the man away. Best Lecture Ever.
He stole my cigarette and gave me deodorant. He really is a homeless warrior.
