Wow. Standing at the bus stop because the bus was late, some lady started talking to me. First she just looked at me and quietly said “ammusing”. So softly I had to get clarification that that was what she said. She had a look, a sneer, of contempt. I grunted in affirmation and went back to my inner dialogue.
She then went on to talk at me in short poetic sentences. How their was a weight on her feet. An invisible hand of some malicious person was blowing her hair into face. That we have no freedom. That we have no freedom. America is a materially abundant country. She needs a car. Strangers are listening to what she’s saying and making notes while saying “oh my”.
I wish I could remember if the period goes inside the quotes. I think it does but never liked how that looked.
Peter's stuff.
