Something Bad Afoot

sarah got a big check in the mail and thought it was safer to
walk it down to our credit union rather than chance it with the
USPS. descending through the colonnade, she slipped on a rock
and her ankle went pop! i was out of town when it happened but was
able to summon a ride for her from a distance when no cabs were
forthcoming. today i escorted her to kaiser, just 2 blocks from our
place. the immigrant nurse was jovial and unafraid to air her political
grievances and we agreed ^with everything she said. people who care,
care. then there's those who'd gladly see you and me dead.
