Oh, I was fixin’ to chew fire today.
I was bemused, annoyed, and inconvenienced today when a young woman demanded to know what I was going to do for her next.
She had been in a motel for 2 weeks, been driven to her doctor appointment, and taken shopping at the grocery store. This, however, was not enough to please her.
When I went to the motel to see her in person I was greeted by cigarette smoke and empty beer bottles.
She was in the wind.
And I, I need to wind down. We have the time change so it’s midnight already and it’s supposed to rain tomorrow so I need to go to sleep. But I’m worried about this girl and I’m still very angry.
