1. a woman in this (work) building yesterday who looked like a bizarro-world
labellemargaux in a pink fluffy sweater-dress.
2. a woman, on the train this morning and many other times, a ca.-15-years-in-the-future version of
senora in sensible business attire with cheekbones that would scratch glass.
3. two women at North Station this morning, 40-something-year-old identical twins with identical facial warts, identical butt-length fur coats, almost-identical tan boots, non-identical ankle-length velour skirts, almost-identical round tan hats with black quasi-fur trim, and matching red shoulder bags, slung on opposite shoulders, so that the bags themselves traveled between the two as they walked up the train platform in front of me, speaking to one another in what seemed to be a Slavic language. In my imagination they are powerful and feared, if tacky, witches.
