lunch ladies
i dreamed about the old lynch st. apartment again last night. as always, it was in need of some renovation. somehow i was now the owner-- but only of that apartment-- and i had decided to try and sell it. i think i was talking with a realtor inside the apartment. then i walked out, through an enclosed porch painted in ugly, dark colors, and i thought, "I want to give this whole place a nice coat of cream-colored paint. I'll go to the paint store and ask if they have a color called, 'vanilla bean', because that would be just perfect, a nice pale cream." by the time i finished that thought, i was at the end of the front walk, and two lunch ladies were walking up to the house. one was black and one was white, and they were wearing those puffy, translucent white hats that look like shower caps. the black one had two long buck teeth that stood out against her brown skin. i tried to make eye contact and smile, but they did not seem to be in a friendly mood.
i have no idea where the lunch ladies came from or what they might mean.
oh, and i remember thinking that that sort of house-- an old house divided into three apartments-- would be perfect for a family, each family unit could live in a different apartment, and be separate yet together.
