I walk down my block. A little girl eyes me. I say hi."Hi," she says.
I keep walking. I turn back. The same little girl.
"Want to buy a picture?" she holds up some pages.
"How much?"
"A dollar," she says.
"Okay," I say.
I pick two drawings. One is of a heart with more hearts.
"I did that one," she tells me.
The other is an alien.
"She did that one," she tells me, and points to her friend.
"Well, now I got one from each of you," I hand her the bills.
They giggle and run to their mothers.
"Keep drawing," I call after them.
I walk back to the apartment. It is hot. I sweat. I eat a burger. I sweat some more. I fall asleep.
Now I am back at it. The air conditioner is going. The Moon is out.

that's awesome.
Yeah, I figure they get to know about equal exchange. It's like, 'you got a drawing, here's a dollar.' Damn skippy! It'll get them wheels turning.
Just watch. Next Sunday it'll be 2 bucks a drawing.
I'll pay it too : )
