4 AM

(smack, smack, smack of cat paws on my face)
Me: STOP IT, Marmalade. Go to sleep.
(pounding, running footsteps in the alley. dog barks.)
Cop: (yelling) STOP RUNNING. OR I WILL SHOOT YOU.
Cop 2: I DON’T HAVE MY RADIO. CUFF HIM.
(sirens wail)

Hipster Girls at the Crosswalk by Rite-Aid

There we all were in the white noon sun, waiting for the light to change.

Hipster girl 1 (dressed like a homeless person): Oh my god I am so full.
Hipster girl 2 (with home made crocheted stockings falling off under a plaid miniskirt that has ridden up, revealing her butt cheeks): That veggie burrito was sooooooo good!
HG1: (Tossing back lank, greasy hair) Do you think I’m hotter than Anna?
HG2: (Nods enthusiastically like an otter) You are hotter than she is.
HG1: (Reaching in for an embrace) Well, *you* think I’m hotter than Anna, but Anna doesn’t think I’m hotter than her. BUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPP!
