Monday night – Chango

So.. I was on a subway last night when a  quiet ,middle age man sitting next too me started yelling and beating the walls and bench of the car. He was swearing a blue streak and saying he Hated ‘Chango’.. that @#$%ing Chango…. this went on for a bout 10 minutes as everyone in the car got more and more uncomfortable. Then he started throughing food at a waman sitting a few seats down on the bench. It clearly wasn’t soemone he knew. She instanly yelled back.. in equally strong language that he should keep his food to himself. He started yelling at her to shu up, she yelled back louder that she didn’t have to.. and so it went.. As they escalated.. everyone in the car started sliding towards the door.. even though we were between staions.. Eventually she was yelling louder than  he was.

He strated backing down.. and .. thanksgully… got off at the next stop.. everyone in the car seemed mad at the woamn for escalating the  bizarre argument… it was surreal….

 

anyway.. all today I kept wonderign about what started this whole event.. Who is ‘Chango’ ? .. I know hes’ the Yoruba diety of fire and , lightening and drums… … is that who this guy meant ?
