@DallasFanForever, The new job I started was mind numbing and the people that worked there were hard going and exhausting. Having to correct them or smile sweetly as they offer gibberish as fact. So I got there at 0729am to start at 0730. I'd sit on a bit of wall next to the bus shelter killing timer with Placebo, Biggie, Madge, Missy, T>I, The Wu et al for company.
The pretty lady that walked pass everyday stopped looking at me with a "don't rape me" look of hope on her face to a look of total indifference, to a quizzical look as I sang along to whichever luminary was dropping the knowledge about love, loss, hope, guns drugs and bitches. Eventually she would smile and wave.
I thought to myself.... hey why not strike up a conversation, and who knows. Makes sense right. The merry making ended with the breaking of dawn on Monday,
The pretty lady pitched as usual, wearing a different coat, so my open gambit, was "I see your plumage has changed to welcome the spring"... What followed was something that is without name, but if it were ever needed, the perfect display of the benefits found in sobriety. My performance was theatrical, epic and WTF.
On a number of occasions the pretty lady actually said "I don't understand what you're talking about" I said "Don't worry, no c*** ever does"....
The smile and wave was replaced with look of pity, and me on the wall in the rain.
