2002-10-15 & 8:27 p.m. : i don't want to end up like bonnie and clyde

when i went into the news stand today, i called out my hello to stan.

he picked his head up from behind the counter and heaved a great sigh.

i agreed with him, it was that kind of day.

as he set my smokes on the counter he said

"lawd, this is the kind of day where i would set a chameleon on a checkerboard, i feel so blue."

i handed him my money and looked into his eyes and nodded.

when i left the store he thanked me for listening.
