July 23, 2015:
Heavy boots on hardwood. Jangling keys. Motown on the satellite: ain't no mountain high enough.
Tall girl, thin hair without color, one dangling earring like a plastic pearl. Student, foreign, perhaps German, having coffee with a girlfriend.
On the sidewalk women pass. Brown hoodie, spike heels, statuesque, a Mexican Barbie. Blue ski jacket, cell phone, spike heels, a California Barbie. Papa's got a brand new bag.
