Brothers beyond

On the day: 
19/11/2012 

On the way: 
Just the two of them today, talking each other through a series of dance steps in hushed tones. 
Darth Bling and Darth Adonis they may be, but  urban disruption is not their bag. When they stop the traffic, it's not with jackhammers and graders.
Both are in skinny black jeans, black jackets and matching gold chains with links as thick as a child's finger. 
They're one, but they're not the same. The taller, by an inch or two of height and a couple more of lavender quiff, has white-soled slip-on plimsolls with a slavering rottweiler design on the uppers and a black leather jacket over a BOY vest. 
The other, with the turquoise do, has shiny silver trainers with thick white soles and busily embroidered silky black jacket - along with the standard wriggling Eastern dragons, the names of United States ships down the left sleeve, Oriental ports down the right, and an Asia by Asia-style serpent lashing the sea as it rises on the back, surrounded by imperial naval flags of questionable historic origin. But what would I know of such things? 
What a pity, though, if that jacket were to upstage the borrowed from Brother Beyond routine they are  rehearsing on the platform.
