I Don’t Get It

There’s a guy that I’ve seen on Broadway a few times recently – in his 20s, blonde and chubby. He always wears the same green homemade costume. I’m pretty sure that I recognize it as Zelda‘s costume. Yesterday I saw him silently heckling a group of security guards standing outside Seattle Central Community College. Zelda had drawn the baseball bat he carries in his behind the shoulder sheath and was performing video game-style fencing moves – not in the security guards’ direction, but clearly for their benefit. The security guards refused to even look in his direction.
