Ok,folks it took time. Getting back to writing. But my second day was very
embarrassing to say the least.

by Joseph Bolden To all the reader folks if I have any left pre or post ATA especially after what happened that day! I say my public appologies to anyone who is offened by this. The Hooter’s Affair Though we all slept some do better than others. Humid,hot,I and our Poor Magazine contingent quickly signed up before going to our temporary living quarters. Day 2 is blurred with an early protest/march planned with heartfelt speeches of many people. I’m tired,feel slow, groggy, and dazed. Don’t know where the march began,do know to keep hydrated constantly drinking water so my brain won’t boil over or so I’ve been told. In this long sketchy march is Tiny,Vivian,Hain, Jewnbug,Ryata,and myself. As humid heat drench us in our own sweat I’m breathing shallow. Mercifully,as we near the end of the march Jewnbug steps ahead of me. In front of her is a public fountain. Like everyone else she splashed her face looks like a pixie at play among mortals ["She would be wearing a bra"] my reptile brain said as I too dunk head,face in the warm pool loving the wet relief the fountain gives me. Trudging back I hear a voice call "Joe,joe." Its Vivian’s. Feeling exhausted from the march and hungry I look up, saw in huge orange letters ‘HOOTERS’ Simultaneously, there are three women calling me beckoning to enter. I’m thirsty,hungry,the two Nubian beauties outside call decided my next stupid move… to enter Hooter’s. The women,gorgeous but at the moment it is all about the food. Somehow,after going to the restroom,ordering food, I’d forgotten all about the march, my buddies,find I’m lost in an Atlanta Hooter’s establishment! I find a phone,call, relay my predicament,hear raucous laughter,think Jewnbug says "You betrayed the revolution for Tits and Ass!" I’m picked up by Anulfo grinning "Lost huh,Joe." Later,what Jewnbug really said was "It’s a pity, Joe sold out the revolution for Ass and Tittie." At least day 2 in Atlanta,G. is a great day! I wasn’t feelling tired anymore. |
