5.30a.m.
The alarm went off and I thought about how I had gone to bed at this same time the night(morning) before. It is always a feat trying to get up in winter.
6.40a.m.
Surprised at the lack of activity. A few scavengers around. The weather looked if-ey. I wanted to be in bed.
9.30a.m.
A few hours had gone by. The blasted cold. Is my nose still there? Buy my old shoes, buy a piece of my past. Each dress, each stain, each missing button- takes me to some place, time, smell, person."No, $8 is the lowest I'll go". I'd rather give it to the salvos than let you have it for $2. It's a matter of principle.
11a.m.
I was half hoping it would just rain. An excuse to get out of the treacherous wind. Leather-clad couple: A little early for fake lashes and PVC pants I think. The sun made a cameo, and like always, you want more. Bird droppings on my clothes.
12.50p.m.
Falafel roll in hand (surprising comfort food). Many had already gone. I hate packing up. Coffee is always welcome. I wonder what looked ghastlier-the sky or I. I've got a pocket full of coins. I want to go home.
