"I Am The Future"

I was walking past Port Authority the other day and I saw this old, fat black man tugging a shopping cart behind him. He wore this faded black t-shirt — that he'd probably picked up second-hand from some homeless outreach company — which featured big, block, rainbow-colored lettering that read:

"I AM THE FUTURE"
This struck me as sad and funny and ominous all at once. And then alternately.
