Analysis of A ordinary day
“Freeze, don’t move, hands to the sky”
“What’s the hell’s going on?”
“Man is you high?”
“Is I’m being arrested?”
“Not yet, detained”
“I can’t believe this”
“This is insane.”
“Oh, now I’m being arrested?”
“Then what’s the charge?”
“Robbery?”
“Assault?”
“Black man at large?”
“I fit the description”
“Man, that picture is not me”
“That’s a 20 year old “
“I’m elderly “
“I’m free to go?”
“ Be on my way “
“ A ordinary life”
“ Of a ordinary day.”
