Stranger

A black man with tattooed face man came up to me as I was walking Romeo downtown. I just got outta jail, he said. I didn't kill anyone. He sipped from his yellow plastic Arizona iced tea bottle. This is wine, I drink wine and smoke marijuana. I'm a composer and producer of rap music. I've composed many songs that you've heard but I don't tell people this because then they want me to make their music. It's full of curses and I don't like it. I'm off to the library to compose music, he said.
The library is a great place to go, I said. I bet you've never seen this before, he said opening his mouth. His tongue was split down the middle, the two halves curled. That's when I realized who he was.
