purple
I work at the nursing home now. it's sort of like wandering through other people's dreams.
yesterday a lady poked me in the butt and said "you've got some purple!" i looked at everything i was wearing, but there was nothing that even resembled purple. i was about to respond, but when i looked up, she was already continuing on her way down the hall. "i like it too." she said, laughing.
today i was cleaning a table, and a lady looked up at me with pure disdain. "i just don't know what to say." she said. "me neither." i said, and started dusting something else. "you took a lot of things". she said condemningly, as if i were the devil. "things...?" i said, because it seems pretty inhumane to ignore some of the residents like they advise you to. "yeah." she said. "i'm talking about the time when they wanted to go out and get the lions and gather the nuts. but i wouldn't let 'em. i said, no way..." there was really no proper response to that, and it appeared that my presence was upsetting so i moved on. it's an interesting job.
