fifty-six; Carlos, Amalgam commuter bike


His shopping cart is full of bunt cake and chewing gum; face draped thick with skepticism as I start interviewing him in the deli section of Safeway at 10:30pm.
This is what happens when one moves into their first studio apartment senior year of college; they eat food that would disappoint any mother and don’t trust strange men questioning them in public.
He’s studying pre-law (which explains the wariness).
He balances all this with a gallon of skim milk and his desire for social justice or environmental law (plus the fact that he drives a bio-diesel B.M.W. back at home).
