Flavor

I'm at Central Market tonight, eating a square of dark chocolate with bottled water. Greg is checking us out at the register, and I glance over.

There, sitting on a bench beneath the painted tile mural is this young woman who to me just screams Central Austin. Everything about her. Her hair, her slouch, her musical accessories.

I just keyed someone who's got her look into a scene where I needed flavor.

She's flavor.

You'll notice what a bang-up job I'm doing letting the mss rest.

My hands are totally covered in pink ink again.
