Went down to the Brooklyn Market for some ice-cold beer on this hot-ass, sweaty day and saw a ho on the stroll with no teeth and a limp.

The nurse in me was watching her limp, trying to ascertain the medical affliction that impeded her ability to ambulate properly.

I then realized that on her right foot was some sort of platform flip-flop,
and on the left foot...???

...nothing.

She only had one shoe, and she was going to wear the one shoe she had, by god.

I wondered if she rotated her one shoe to the other foot when the bare one got sore.

Then a silver mini-van pulled up to the curb, she leaned into the passenger window, negotiated the terms of her impending contract and got in.

The van turned down a side-street and they disappeared.

I wonder if she'll use any of that money to buy another shoe.
