Damn Cold

Nov 10, 2008 19:16


The mercury was in the 20s when I flew back and it hasn't risen since.

The late morning bus carries me to work and gives the mumbling lady her forum. Sh's draped in a light blue blanket and murmurs continuously of sign language, spiders, her husband and "Living in total darkness..."

The bus lurches; an elderly African man falls back; SLAM, into the cash box; Mumbly Jane starts; she jumps up in her bed cloak; while everyone watches she helps him up; she seats him in her seat; he smiles, fine, and then must turn his head and ignore her: she's already begun to murmur her senseless tune.
