F is for 'Fetid'
Based on my ride home yesterday on the F train I now have first hand experience and a functional working definition of the word 'stifling'. As in: "the un-airconditioned subway car that I was riding in all the way from Broadway/Lafayette to Bergen St was truly stifling" and, "God help me if I spend one more minute in this stifling subway car I am going to pass out".
I also got a little more intimate with someone's big old sweaty arm pit than I was really comfortable with.
sorry charlie. i'm also very ready for it to not be foul. sick of every drop of sweat, ripe fume, stuck skin moment, and the heady smear of ozone blurring the whole world. i want to drink freon.
it's sad when you kind of enjoy the a/c spit that lands on you. i think of the drops as the cool tears of earnest effort.
