Pitch Chewer

There's this old lady in a play pen, peeling hard-boiled eggs. I don't know what her name is. She sits there like a prisoner, chewing pitch gum and cussing at imaginary people. Greasy-haired W.C. Fields lookalike with big floppy breasts, one slung over her right shoulder. A mean old lady with swollen feet and ankles, arm flaps and missing teeth. I call her "mom" and pay for her time.

You have been eating burritos after midnight again, I see.

Yes, it is one of my many weaknesses. Anyway, I have to give you my respect for being the only one brave enough to leave a comment on such a weird post, NYD.

If she were knitting something horrible, then this would be like a dream I had.
Hope you are feeling better, I wish it from the bottom of the rat's nest of wadded up Kleenex I've been inhabiting. I'll be glad to see the ass end of the cold and flu season.
