Somewhere with sun and music to dance to. Today I met my mother near where we used to live. I thought it might mean something to me, but it didn&#8217;t. Lost in a closed restaraunt, I felt momentarily trapped by fashionable dining, the words on the menu without sense. Letters grouped randomly, conversation repeatable. Talk on relationships &#8211; loop &#8211; repeat.<br \/>\nAfterwards, we went to Granville to fetch the boy. He&#8217;s looking far less jagged lately &#8211; apparently my fault. The blood was unexpected, but only startled strangers. To be cruel I could say that if I had that face, I would wish to tear it off too, but it wouldn&#8217;t be true, only biting.<br \/>\nDowntown there were problems with the money machines. Nothing for me, though I&#8217;d just fed it. Tomorrow I face the dragon and yank out it&#8217;s pearl teeth for groceries and gain. Not enough for the pretties I tried on today, but enough for nothing else. Bryans is a dress shop where they fit tham for humans, and the downtown outlet is closing. We wandered by on our way to somewhere else and Robin pointed a plume of shine out to me. We were sucked in. Satin and brocade and hung on a hanger happiness.<\/p>\n<p><i>I feel so much lighter when I have a moment in a pretty dress, do you think perhaps that if women went into battle in gowns, they would do better? I think I might. Dressed to kill &#8211; my knife with a sequined handle.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The boy startled when I came from the changeroom. He had insisted, and I wasn&#8217;t feeling to argue. The room stopped and I tried not to notice, heatflushing through &#8211; then the mirror.<br \/>\nDepression can be bought so easily occasionally, its fear of coin amusing. I haven&#8217;t enough, sadly, for this. I haven&#8217;t any at this time. For an unholy hundred I could smile twice or even once for half. I haven&#8217;t a fifty, so I suppose I&#8217;ll stay at six.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>so scatterbrained, dropped the box with all its pieces, memories splashing on the floor, red.
