We pass a halal meat market. An older man gives a young mother with a stroller a dollar. He says for the baby. She smiles and says thank you.

The baby is shaking.

at erie ave a mexican with a deep scar on his cheek drops a pamphlet on the seat next to me. What will you decide? Day of decision. The turning point in your life
