Chankla Run

Ran miles and miles in my Chanklas, even passing numerous alpha army soldiers in the thick of night. They yelled out to me about my frail foot padding while I maneuvered through them in a broken intersection. I was running home, back from sharing a good time/meal with friends in what seemed to be a gang-infested, unsafe safe neighborhood. I remember feeling an oddly satisfying combination of coy and witty while catching up with my street friends. After running for some time I took a break at a Mexican restaurant with a fat waiter who was not very hospitable toward me. The cashier (who I remember seeing from my last trip there) was a blonde white girl waiting a few people ahead of me in line for the bathroom, holding an incense stick (that thing to ward off bad spirits) in her right hand, while using her cell phone.
