She is searching for good eggplants, me, a bundle of decent radishes and an avocado. She’s been eating licorice or chocolate; her lips are ringed dark. I smile at the contrast between her pale skin and licorice or chocolate, she looks up, bemused; similar to the way you would respond if seeing a calico in a fall pear tree. We look at one another for two seconds or so; I figure me no good, and leave.

Goes like this at the grocery store
