Ash Wednesday?

I think it is, anyway. I've never been sure, and never thought about it before I moved to New York.

The first time I saw a guy with a big black blotch of his forehead I thought, "Poor guy. He has one hell of an ugly birthmark."

The second time it was a group of young women, brunnettes with tawny skin. "Gee, there are an lot of Hindus on the streets today," I mused to myself.

It was years before I figured something was wrong, and someone -- I think it was [livejournal.com profile] bugsybanana -- told me the truth.
