today at the taxi stand, i stood and looked at this woman i'd seen before. she had very long arm hair and it curled and i wondered why she didn't cut it. it was very fine, but long and whirly, and she had burst blood vessels all over her legs. behind her was a girl with pretty hair, but her face looked strange. she had downs syndrome or was retarded or something. i then looked at her shoes. black, patent leather mary janes. she was wearing clamdiggers and patent leather mary janes. i was very excited.
