Raw Goods

good morning (reductions)

the rock star wears tight black jeans, a striped shirt, and a small cap over shaggy black locks. "i'm moving out tommorrow," he shouts over the music at two am. "i've done my time."

the dominatrix wears a long skirt and a tight collared shirt with long sleeves for her five am flight to New York. "my boyfriend says this will keep me unnoticed in his Hasidic community."

the foster parent has her son start the car at eight in the morning, before she runs downstairs carrying a coffee cup. she smiles and nods from the drivers' seat.

the drunk squats on her doorstoop at ten am, smoking a camel cigarette under smeared mascara and wild hair. Her T-shirt says, "A Woman's Place Is On My Face."

the fashion designer has close-cropped black curls and wears high-heeled boots under a tulip skirt. "anytime you wanna stop by," she says at noon, "we could have a cup of tea and chat."
