“How’s your head?”

My friend inquired from her Blackberry.  I wrote back that my head was fine, better than her rear-view mirror, then could not help adding:

On the outside, I mean, the outside of my head is fine.  Demons are hopping around inside of it, playing rugby, by the sounds of it.

 What a nice little vignette we lived in that ten minutes on S____ Avenue during the parking/jumper cables drama.  As I crossed to go into my building, as you drove away, a giant white Humvee, with silver studs on the sides like a shark’s gills, paused to let me walk in front of it.  A voice from inside asked “did you get it started?” and I said “yeah, thanks” without looking up.  Didn’t want to get shot.
