She flags the bus. Chai tea and a big scarf, baseball cap, a day for errands. She rests on a seat, a crumpled daily rag, reads of crosswords and obscene amounts of money. People giving advice, trying too hard to be funny and failing.
She'll take the bus to the store, the other store, to get groceries and more hangers. An unwashed yesterday resting underneath her cap. She'll get asked for money and she'll tell the truth. She has somewhere to be.
Home, later, wine and a bath. Was that an entire day that went by? Was that a day's worth? Careful not to get too pruney she gets out in an hour. Curls up with a book and glass and enjoys getting clean at the end.
