Subway Stories

While i wasn't there with the class when the took notes and made stories about people on the subway, I did the assignment on one of my own experiences on the subway. 

I was leaving Penn Station, headed to 14th Street on a downtown 1 train, when a group of 3 men and one woman get on. My headphones were in so I couldn't hear anything they said to one another. They were all wearing matching navy button downs and navy top hats. They had Red and white stripe bow ties on and matching red and white ribbons around the base of their hats. The doors close and l heard a nose over my headphones, I take them out on my ears and hear the 4 people start sings in harmonies. The start singing old 50’s music and dancing. It wasnt a crowded subway and almost everyone was seated excpet for 4 or 5 people standing by the dorrs, like myself. As they start dancing a man jumps out of his seat pulls a top hat with ribbon out from behind his back and starts to join them. 3 other men joined in after him and a flash mob broke out in my subway car. distracted by the singing and the subway coming to a halting stop, i lost my balance and stumbled backwards. The main singer turn towards me and begins to sing about how i should be holding on to the silver pole in front of me. I laugh and watch as the rest of the singers join in on his made up song. The song ended and I nodded at him and exited the train as the doors open. They werent asking for money, they just loved to sing and they got the whole car singing with them.
