"May I get a ham, please?" I asked cliff the butcher... as I grip my hands on the handle bars of the cart... so excited to be at the supermarket.
I love it, it's like being in another world... with bright lights and relaxing distorted forgotten music playing from above me: the ceiling. It feels like heaven. Heaven that last for a moment.
Everything last for a moment, except for paintings. They last forever. That's how they were made and that's how they we're meant to be.
I still own a Marre Bear artwork from Torrance California. I can't seem to remember when was the last time I went to California, it's been a very long time. So many beautiful lights... there. Even more beautiful in the night, when the sky is asleep and the lights begin to shine above in the old tall manufactured buildings and tall metal poles in the land at the power plantation. Those were the fun days.
"Here's your ham, Mrs. Kankertale."
"It's Miss. not Mrs.... well not anymore."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did he pass away?"
"No... unfortunately. He left me... for another girl. So yeah... that cements the deal."
The young girl behind me begins to secretly laugh at me as she toys with her smart mobile gadget and plays with her lips with her long pale slender finger. What a common maiden. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call her a common maiden. She wasn't being nice at all... it's not good being malicious and nasty... it hurts a person... you know.
I take the ham and put in the cart. It's slightly heavy.... I have no idea... how am I going to put it in my trunk or in the front seat.
But... as I always learn from Gary my koi fish... also known as my best friend. "There's no such thing as impossible... because it gives power to the doubt instead of the doubter."
Gary is so wise.... I'm gonna do it.
"Thank you for the, ham."
