Overheard In An Alley

A Helpful Message For Crack Smokers (Pipers)
This pamphlet was found (and left) on Capp Street. It looked quite helpful.

In related news, I recently overheard quite the little Mission scene.
(This conversation comes from my memory, but I believe it to be mostly accurate)

Setting: Late Sunday morning in an alley near 16th and Mission.

Characters: Man #1, white, mid-30s, having a smoke in front of his studio. Man #2, white, mid-20s, having a smoke of crack in front of Man #1′s studio.

Man #1: Dude, you into crack?

Man #2: Yeah, man, I’m into all kinds of things. Really into crystal, into it all though. I love drugs.

(I missed the next two lines, as I was sleepily spacing out in the big chair in the living room)

Man #1: What are you doing with your life, man? I mean, really?

Man #2: Hah! Just making it go by as fast as possible.

Man #1: What?

Man #2: Just making it go by as fast as possible!

Man #1: (shaking-head-in-disgust sound)

Man #2: I tell you what though, at least I’m not smoking cigarettes.

Man #1: (more disgusted sounds)

Man #2: Now I’m gonna piss on this pigeon. C’mere pigeon! Imma piss on you!

Man #2 then urinates on a pigeon, Man #1 goes back into his studio.

      I’m not usually one to “feed the trolls” or whatever, but not only do I disagree with you, I don’t believe you.

      Constructive feedback is helpful, if you think you can muster any.

  3. Mission Mistaken says:

    There is a methadone facility nearby, and its patrons love to smoke their crack and pass out waiting for their methadone fix. Its really quite ridiculous.
