Super Mario Brothers IndyGo

While waiting for the bus, I watched a man walk west on the sidewalk while fighting trash cans, trees, bushes and anything else along the route. I don’t know if he was hallucinating, or if he really felt compelled to fake punch everything around him.

I was thankful I was on the north side of the street and he was on the south side. I didn’t think he would fight me, but one never knows. He reminded me of an early ‘90s Super Mario Brothers. He walked in a somewhat straight line, but jumped, kicked and punched the air, all while moving westward. He was like Mario punching little boxes for coins, jumping on mushrooms and leaping over bad guys.

He didn’t board my IndyGo bus.
