Morning Glory

Isn't much out there today but a bunch of soaking wet dogs,
waterlogged to drowning plants in pots. Isn't much in here
either.
Yea, he figured it was time to get up and join the rest of
them out there in the cold and wet. otherwise he'd be late
for the match factory and Mr. Occotillo would be pissed.
He got his overshoes on and all the rest of the ridiculous
outfit and trudged out into the drizzle. (God, some people
actually like this kind of weather) Couldn't even keep the
match going trying to light a cigarette in the rain -
balancing the stupid umbrella in the crook of his left elbow
- it falling sidways, him getting soaked and the cigarette
sodden. Not a seat left in the Phenix Cafe all steamy and
stinking of everyone else. He had to stand for what seemed
forever until the apartment block sized Mrs. Cholla got up
and squeezed her soggy mohair past him - the litle hairs
tiny wet water colour brushes sliding along the back of his
hand. She was a revolting mixture of smells stalled in the
doorway, her damp rotundity pinning him to the wall as Mr.
Occotillo rushed through the door and sat himself exactly
where Mrs. cholla had been. Breakfast was not to be
expected in this life, he thought.
