Urban Safari #02

B-I-N-G-O

Bingo. Ruth won a hundred dollars. The Judy Garland impersonator on stage says something about dentures and blowjobs. She makes the ladies laugh and menfolk giddy. Carl marks his cards with hot pink ink. Martha brings wallet-sized and framed photos of her grandsons for good luck. There are layers of gum underneath the folding tables. Catherine collects the money and stores it in a metal box. Peter, Sr. shows the newcomers where to be and ushers the gals who can’t walk too well. Judy Garland has an assistant - a young boy who chews chew and spits in an empty Pepsi bottle. Monday and Wednesday nights are vivacious around here after “Wheel of Fortune”.
