He wore a pair of khaki army-<br > surplus pants, a thin gray T-shirt with a canvas iacket buttoned<br > over it, a pair of black iungle boots laced all the way to the top,<br > and an earring in his left ear. Occasionally he would stick his~<br > left forefinger directly into that ear and leave it for a moment,<br > as if he were testing the temperature of the interior of his brain.<br > His right hand was occupied in holding his harmonica, which<br > he had set on the knee closest to his bench mate, where he<br > tapped it and turned it over, his thoughtful consideration of the<br > harmonica an attempt to conceal his surreptitious interest in<br > the man beside him.<br >
