July 17, 2009

It's cool in the studio the air conditioning is on.
Thankfully, it's also quiet - all the noise makers are away for the weekend.
The storefront glass creates a "fishbowl" effect.
The phone booth outside gets used a lot.
The woman just slammed down the phone, and then picked up the receiver to make another call.
She's wearing purple pants and a metal studded belt.
Hair is slicked back, white shirt too tight
Black bra gold chain cheap purse red nails chewing gum gold rings
No one is answering on the other line
She's shaking her head
Summer camp kids walk across the street all wearing the same color shirt
Holding hands with the counselors and each other
Noisy conversation approaches and then dissipates.
A lot of passersby look into the windows, but they don't open the door to come in.
The lights in the gallery are not on, but there is enough light to work
I brought my change of clothes.
