“Wise decisions young man”

The two mouths coolly blurred out praise mixed with laughter for the young man’s quick, not yet thought-through decision of wearing a light grey tee on his way to work on this blistering hot day in New York. They didn’t even reflect on giving a comment on the leather jacket he also wore nor the hat he constantly wears on his head. Arriving to work tears were filling their amused eyes; they simply couldn’t believe how foolish a man can be. Especially if you know you have one degree up away from sweat. Neither could he. But he ignored the two mouths and kept on walking, determined to make it. One more step is one more step closer to AC and shut door. Aah that brisk sterile sweet fabricated cold air.
