ME AND THE OLD GEEZERS
ME AND THE OLD GEEZERS
Any white old geezer my age standing around in my general vicinity and unattached to other visible female ownership is being considered under my jurisdiction.
And so, I suddenly become responsible for the old geezers. For whilst they are oblivious to being attached to me by the third party gaze, I realize that anything I say is taken to involve them and represent them.
And so, if I (in the pouring rain) say that this harbour bus is not the one I am waiting for, the unsuspecting old geezers are also not being let on board (but rather left out in the pouring rain). Or if I don't want to see this or that movie, the old geezers are also not given tickets.
And so I must take action on behalf of the unattached old geezers and explain that, although this non-speaker of the local Viking language has my colour luminescent skin, my privileged social class and my beenaroundtheblock age, he is actually not attached to me in the form of ownership or kinship, and he just MIGHT have an opinion and a plan of his own.
