Ana was carrying 2 huge bags of groceries
- Ana was carrying 2 huge bags of groceries back to her flat near the Gare du Nord. A kerb-crawler was following her, door open: "Viens ici cherie" "You think I'm a tart with snacks?
- " Anna said. The man trailing her in a black Citroën laughed, "Je ne sais pas cherie. You tell me." She suddenly stopped in her tracks, reached into one of her grocery bags, and
- pulled out some bubble gum, chewed it & blew a huge pink bubble which blocked his view. When the bubble popped, Anna was nowhere to be seen. Merde! She escaped again! The Frenchman
- twirled his sticky mustache, lost in thought. This simple petite fille, this Anna...she was a more formidable opponent than he'd anticipated. The Frenchman suddenly spotted her
- man. Herman was a drunk from the town of Bismarck. The Frenchman noticed him because of his lavender cape.
- He followed the lavender cape until Herman stopped to puke. "Eh bien, mon ami, you can't go around like that." He pulled out a nice cape from 1836, black with a cabernet-red lining
- And put a skullcap on. Then we perambulated into the park, only to find Herman howling at the moon with the Wolf family. He had become a wolf! Now we were really homeless and poor.
- The Wolf offered to share their den with us for the night. Herman still looked human enough to express hopefullness that we would. So we did. It was a tight fit and involved a bit
- -ing ritual that required all of us to bite each other without drawing blood. After that we were considered part of the wolf pack. But Herman bit the wolf leader a little too hard
- drawing blood, sweat and tears. He became a pariah. The wolf pack jettisoned him to the streets where he now lives under the pseudonym "Trashcan Tim."
