the rix mix

Woman with a ravaged face asking for money outside the supermarket. Can't guess how old she is; drugs & booze make people ageless in the worst way. I gave her a buck. I'll always give her something if I have it, because one evening she was outside Dunkin' Donuts & said she was tired & needed a cup of coffee. I thought, yeah, sure, but handed her some change, & a few minutes later she came inside & used my change to buy a cup of coffee.
