porn theatre boat noodles

sunday stopped by at the boat noodle shop in an alley that leads to the porn theater. crossed paths with a transvestite regular on her way out. she was hard to miss with a prominent nose, long neck and a hard look in her eyes. the skin above her shoulder was pockmarked, her veins prominent.

it was a slow day so we stood around waiting for a table then the food took a while longer. i turned around momentarily and saw the regular making her way back in a new sleeved shirt. slow but firm steps to the smudgy glass doors.
