OVERHEARD ON THE SUBWAY, FROM AN AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILY: A MOTHER, TWO DAUGHTERS AND TWO SONS, CHILDREN. "Venus in furs"; "we're cops too";"white" as a blanket statement, neither preceding or following any conversation; two of the boys mock leave the subway car at a stop not theirs, after feigning it to be theirs, no comment by the mother; the mother asks if the eldest girl is talking to the whole subway car or her sister; the mother scold a boy saying "you sound like a girl" and the eldest girl mocks up a paranoia that the train won't stop at the last stop.
