Not to be dramatic, but that woman at Marie’s? Jail. One thousand years.

Touching. You're a keen observer. I know well the feeling of being an observer/participant, much more comfortable with observing than participating. In a single year, in my early 20's, I met three people in bars - in NOLA, London, and NYC. They were all from California (where I lived) and two were named Mark the third was Mike. (There was something slightly off with Mike.) It was as if I were being shoe-horned by the Universe. Liberation came when I re-wrote my internal stone tablets and risked being vulnerable by just being me. It was as if I had been wearing shoes two sizes too small because it felt so good when I took them off. Sometimes context transcends content. An element of your year you captured masterfully in this piece.
