I almost collided
with Mary coming out the taxi dispatch door – just as
I was getting ready to pay my gates for the day – I netted
a little over twelve dollars in ten hours, can you believe it? I
got in line shortly after she got back, and when I reached her window,
she murmured something I couldn't hear. That happens a lot. "Hmm?"
I asked, "I couldn't hear." She repeated it: "You
look pretty in blue," she said, almost blushing. "You
look pretty ... bumping into you ..." I paused, then
added, "... said the bluebird to the chipmunk!" Well,
I've never seen anyone look at me with such deep brown eyes. Now ...
if someone just doesn't murder
me.
