Got a quarter?

There is a young man that is on the subway everyday walking in and out of the length of each car repeating the same question over and over and over: "You got a quarter? I'm trying to catch the bus." He is tenacious and unaffected by people's responses or ignorance. He keeps repeating his question over and over every ten seconds, walking through the crowded train cars, hand outreached. He has rhythm and cadence that is hard to ignore. People peer between others or their books. No one gives him a quarter, not the regulars. Then a tourist will reach in a pocket and hand him one and he never stops, not even a thank you. "You got a quarter? I'm trying to catch the bus."
