I know a man named Detroit.
    #5407599 - 03/16/06 10:09 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I don't know what it is about Detroit but from the first moment that I laid eyes upon him, I felt some sort of distant kinship with the man. It was a mix of pity and curiosity, I suppose, and the clincher was simply the reading I gave our eye contact moment.

It was early in my tenure at Google when I got off the F line at the 42nd Street subway station one day and got in line with the rest of the ants for the long march up the stairs. I saw Detroit sitting there with his back against the wall on a platform between sets of steps, holding a paper cup and smiling hopefully at all the passersby, not begging so much as trying to make the briefest of connections. I opened my wallet and emptied the contents of one compartment into my hand, a dollar's worth of change or so, subsequently dropping the change into his cup.

His gratitude was sincere, and there was just a certain rapport between us, some sort of je ne sais quoi.

Sometimes he is there, sometimes he is not. I try to give him money whenever I can, and it's funny, because there are other homeless "regulars" in my different daily routines who I will ritualistically snub in much the same way I will ritualistically give to Detroit.

One day when I was leaving work I went down into the Subway and saw him there. I pulled out my wallet on reflexand he put his hand gently on my arm and told me, "You a good man, you know dat? I know you look out fuh me 'n ah really 'ppreciate that. You don' hafta be givin' me money every time you see me, cause I know you lookin' out for me." It kind of killed me. It stirred up a whole mess of wonderment on the train ride back home that evening.

I started wondering about my own subconscious motivation. I had felt a little good, a little proud, to be told by this poor soul that I was, in his eyes at least, a "good man" but I knew I couldn't let that get to my head.

I still see Detroit now and then. I didn't even know his name was Detroit until yesterday. Leaving the subway in the morning he stopped me.

"Yo' name's Mike, right?"

"No, my name's Danny."

"Danny. Danny. Oh, okay...yeah, you a good man Danny, always lookin' out. They's a few of you who's always good to me and I really thank y'all for it. There's a Mike, and a Ted, and a John, and a Jonathan, and y'all really helpin' me out. Ah kin only hope to get myself fixed up one day and repay y'all somehow for yah kindness."

"I hope you can, too.." I said, meaning fix himself up more than find a way of paying me back. "What's your name?"

"Mah name's Detroit," he answered, with a sharp accent on the DEE. "I ain't never been there, neither, but my daddy came from Detroit to New York and that's what he named me. Not many people got this name."

The crowd swelled around us - another F train had come and gone, depositing commuters to empty out in to the streets where they would breathe crisp winter air only briefly before ducking into systematically ventilated office buildings. A breeze washed over the two of us as we shook hands, and I could feel the toughness of life in his dry, ashy skin.

Trav! Great to see you post, I haven't seen you around in a bit. :smile:

(P.S. what's the name of the movie your avatar is from? It keeps escaping my mind and I want to rent it tonight. I was actually gonna PM you about it last night.)

Hey man!  I have been in the middle of some major life changes but things are finally settling down a bit, which means you'll see me around here a bit more again. :smile:  The movie Fantastic Planet, by the way.

That's the thing, I don't have an ideal job, or ideal "career path." Right now I'm simply hoping to find a job that puts me in a literary atmosphere, i.e. publishing houses, magazines, newspapers.

There's so much free food here at Google, I always want to give some to him when they serve lunch. But he's got no routine, I don't know where to find him when.

Sounds like the guy I'd see now and then coming off the "F", only at the 40th St. exit, south east side. Never asked for money, but would say "how ya doin'" If I made eye contact.I've hooked him up a couple bucks, now and then if I had money in my pocket.Next time I see that guy, I'll ask if he's Detroit...I usually don't give money to beggars in NY, but he wasn't beggin'...

This guy just has a warm look to him, especially his eyes...and he's not looking to hassle anyone at all...that'd be pretty cool if you were thinking of the same guy, cause yeah, he's at the 40th st. exit..that's where I exit every morning..I exit on the Northwest side though I think.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

The dentist isn't so bad high. Plus all my experiences with drilling. Like I'm talking 2 root canals and like 4 or 5 fillings. they always shot Novocaine in my mouth and i couldn't feel shit until it wore off.

Speaking of homeless people around NYC one of my favorite is Five Fingers on the F train. he usually gets on at like 21st and queensbridge. He has literally 5 fingers in all hence the nickname Five Fingers. he claims I think to be a basketball coach and asks for money or some shit but he always says. if you don't have anything to give you can always just give him a smile. he tends to brighten up my days.
