Karaoke Boy (again)

By Sekou

So, I saw Karaoke Boy again two nights ago. Same spot. Same boom box. New hat. This time he had an older couple crowding him in awe. He smiled and chatted but the second the song playing on the boom box edged toward the chorus, he took a step back and started belting it out, right on cue. The couple stayed. Probably waiting for him to pause again, so they could ask him more questions. No, I did not take a picture. C’mon, it was dark out!
