Last night I encountered something profoundly ugly and infinitely obscene. At about 8:30pm I was in a fairly innocent mood - a little drunk, and on my way to a barbecue/steak-fest. I was comfortably strolling down Dundas. It was a warm night and people were about. My guard was definitely down. That was when I discovered that the meat-fest had already begun, and that someone was munching on a street-dog with relish.

To my immediate right, in a storefront doorway facing wide and busy Dundas, homeless fellatio appeared to be underway. Moaning and wearing rugged clothing and a toque, a woman (I think) was performing oral sex on a fully clothed and equally rugged man, who was leaning against the wall. Gender was only evident by the sounds being made - otherwise the only obvious aspect of the situation was the rate and quality of oral sex being delivered. Two or three frames of revolting experience are seared into my memory - a vagrant woman on her knees, with her head moving against the crotch of a man leaning against an inset-doorway on Dundas.

Oh, the horror, the animal urge to ejaculate everywhere, on everything. It is so goddamn ugly, so goddamn real, and so goddamn close to the surface.
