before he is out of the city, he takes a cheap umbrella from under the passenger seat and rolls down his window at a stop light.  he motions to the fat woman he thinks only he can see.  she is ugly in all kinds of weather and she is ugly now in the rain.  though wide awake, the thought of her walking is an insomnia that torments him with the restless image of her walking.  before he is out of the city, the woman catches up to him a total of three times.

not being able
to do anything
about having an itch.

after knocking the girl from the bike

as for confession  

I have a kind of claustrophobia
brought on by having a body.
