odd pronunciation over heard at Olympic Spa
8 min @ Olympic Spa, Korea town, Los Angeles
“The tea is brewed good and strong today.” Her milky blue eyes stare intently at the young woman across from her.
“But it’s too hot,” the girl says.
“Don’t be thinking this can be turned down,” the blue-eyed crone gestures at the steaming brown water the three women are sitting in. “This will cure what ails you, if you want it to. I saw a woman come up in here with a shattered ankle, she weren’t wobbly no more when she walked outta here. That’s all I’ll say.” Neither Geneva or the young girl comment on this pronouncement. They are in her thrall. There is a sense of magic about her, with her halo of bleached and dreadlocked Medusa coils. And Geneva believes. Despite her numb and pruned fingers, she has a sensation that tonight she will be able to write.
