Cigarettes And Identity

5/15/2014

0 Comments

 
Yesterday, in Santa Monica, a woman sidled up to me and asked if I had a cigarette. I answered politely, "No, I don't." She took a moment, looked pensively at the ground, looked back up at me and asked, "Are you Carl?" And, again, I had to answer, "No." 

​Slightly disappointed, but not disheartened, she sidled away. 

I hope she finds a cigarette and/or Carl.
