September 25, 2016:

Basso profondo, amplified by hard linoleum floors, a narrow tunnel of lost crowds: "Cart! Cart! Cart!"

Tiny boy, groomed hair, pressed shirt, brown skin, South Asian, holding his father's hand, points to siblings one by one, announces cheerfully, "You're a faggot. You're a faggot. You're a faggot."

Redeemed by Sly Stone: "I want to take you hiiiigher..." Loud from the travelers' bar, amplified by hard linoleum floors.
