Queen in bar walks over to Queen who is chain-smoking cigarettes. Queen says, How

much for a half-n-half? Queen scans crowd, exhales, How much do you have? Queen

runs fingers through hair and rubs eyes and looks over shoulder (bar cluttered with

business suits and casual wear) says, Well, I just pulled some out of the bank. It's on

tip of tongue. He exhales, winks at a King coveting a glass of Jack, adjusts bra and

thumbs his breast under blouse Ten big ones. The Queen blinks, eyebrows V, spits,

Ten. Oh come on, that's a little pricey for you. Queen blows smoke in face, I said big

ones. Hands span pockets and wallet while he mumbles incoherent self-discrimination.



Mean while, a Queen over bar and Jack whispers for bartender's ear, Another drink

for the Queen. The Queen sees this and sees the bartender walking over to the Queen with

drink in hand. Queen ashes cigarette and says, What's it going to be, Ten big ones and

half-n-half, or nothing? The Queen hides face. Queen says, Well? The Queen pulls hands

through hair. Says: Epithet, jaded, Sassy, Yellow,

Demarkation, jaded, Red, The Detective Store.
