the elderly woman has on a pink jacket, puma sneakers, and a brown curly wig. her heavy set daughter has on a black dress and a red brown sweat shirt. she moves as slowly as her mother.
he just take life for granted, said the elderly lady. he just do. girls she gonna show  up. i want eddie to pick up a place. i’m not financing it    i want eddie to pick a place
the motown thing. i’m surprised they offer that rate. last time i went to a concert it
was eighty dollars. yup that was a good  concert it really was.
if you stop and think about it, the daughter said.
they eat salad and chicken pod pie.
by sunday I’m crazy from not having seen my daughter since thursday. it hurts.
i only see her for two hours of the four hours because she’s at tennis on tuesday and thursday.  although I like to see her play.
i like that a’s a decent person. i mostly know creeps: family members, lawyers, ex part time friends who have used me. sometimes, i think i’m not a good person even though i know they are the ones who are fucked.
she got up and left?!, the elderly lady said. that’s ill mannered. just beyond belief. i wouldn’t even have thought she was that bad, she caught me off guard. oh where are they coming from?
pasadena, the daughter said.
they gonna like it here.
when are they coming?
april 7.
that sounds like diana ross.
the old lady is laughing. i don’t know about what. she’s happy.
this was almost good, the elderly lady said.
the pie hits the good spot, said the daughter. you left crumbs all over.
i want to ask her about the band chic. i used to listen to them in the seventies when i was a little boy. i think the guitarist was a sex fiend. i want to google them but i’m tired of
the machine telling me what shit is. do they like bernie or clinton. i’m guessing clinton.
medicine time, said the elderly lady. do you take the vitamin d everyday and is it over the counter?
600 milligrams or something something like that.
i used to have 2000 dollars in my purse at all times, said the elderly lady. walking around with all that money, then i stopped. here i am in a black satin gown. i must have made quite a picture. i was afraid but i wasn’t as afraid as i should be.
if you stop and think about it, the daughter said.
YEAH IF YOU STOP TO THINK ABOUT IT! THESE RACIST CYNICAL MINDLESS FUCKS THINK THEY CAN BE OBAMA!! OBAMA IS THE REAL THING! I DON’T CONDONE HIS DRONE PROGRAM. ALL THOSE INNOCENT DEATHS ARE ON OUR CONSCIENCE IF YOU HAVE A SOCIAL CONSCIENCE! HE DIDNT GET WHERE HE GOT BY LUCK!! THERE IS NO MORE HUMILITY.
why is he yelling, said the elderly black lady.
if you stop to think about it, said the daughter.
