The Day I Saw A Ghost Walking through Wal-Mart with my family
Coming out of Electronics- Stopped dead-the whole world paused In that moment -the awkward "Hi", "Hey" "So how's life?" "Good", "Yours?" "Good", "Are you still with your girl?", "Yeah", "How are you and Don getting along?" (her usual answer)"We're just there" "yeah"- "I'm glad to see your family is still snobby", "yeah, heh" "Well, it was nice seeing you","Yeah, you too"- Followed by the weirdest, non-feeling hug ever- She was so skinny! But then again-she always was The feeling of her ribcage on her back Like a washboard-"Well, you'd better catch up with your family" "I guess I should", "Keep in touch" "I will", "Later", "Later"... -M.E. 10/19/99 |
