Today I will do absolutely nothing while I lay in the rain-drenched streets and listen to them argue over a hundred dollars and city tax and her say "it's not the damn fish market" and him say "it's not fair I'm your customer" and all the while his child me waits in the rain-drenched streets listening to their rude arguing and my heart pounding heavy.
