Alleviating Discomfort
The girl with the yellow hair found a place to rent on Emma Street in Key West. she had arrived & things were working out & she was happy. she got a job at a restaurant & met her boyfriend & moved in together & he was good to her. there were issues she mentioned but aren’t there always. friends & family came to visit & they drank rum & posed for photos on the beach.
The girl with the yellow hair sold the beautiful art she made on the pier. she pulled a cart behind her bike & had a system for setting up an attractive display. she was ambitious & her purses were over the top with so much detail. it was hard to charge enough. tourists didn’t want to pay. she was in her element with her designs. her knee started hurting & she did research & leg work to get a knee replacement but there were drugs in her system & no one knows how or when they started. something to do with managing pain.

Wow. So beautiful and we like her slide accidentally into pain management. Great piece all the way through, concise and well written. Incredible ending.
A new wrinkle in the story, well-told. Thanks for this.
Kevin, I’m mining old journals for poems from the way back past.
