Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 02, 2023

the nose, Marcus. The nose.

Marcus also loses track of time, he thinks it’s still 1969.

That weird little earring?

The joy of discovery

I would hazard a guess that it’s that humongous rear end. That and the fact that apparently he has no forearms

Marcus realizes pride should not be shown in one’s own Zen mastery.

Marcus, it must be your incredible self-confidence. Either that or the point knees.

And then come the existential questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What’s life all about? …

We should envy Marcus. Individuality and self-determination is a threat to true Democracy.

Marcus: Take heart. You are unique.

Just like everyone else…

His hideous pants.

Good morning Balladeers!

Yeah, me too, and my name is Marcus

We are all unique individuals, just like everyone else

Ballard street people tend to all resemble each other. Marcus considers the possibility of clones.

It’ll come back to you Marcus .

His pointy knees?

his spot-on hairdo

This is Ballard Street, Marcus. At the moment, it’s because you aren’t doing something stupid and dangerous…

A terrible thing.. to lose. May I be so bold to suggest a notepad. Many seniors find a notepad essential.

Well, it’s certainly possible it’s the broomstick legs!

No one else on Ballard Street is named Marcus, so there’s that.
