The sad life of Kim

Kim has been on the streets for at least twenty years. Long time cab drivers know her from Kennedy Blvd where she would work as a prostitute. She is mentally ill and unpredictable. She can also be sweet and nice.
I saw her today for the first time in a year. I was at a gas station and she asked me for money. I just don't have any extra and told her no. She looked sad, and walked off. I genuinely have sorrow for her.
Her disappearances are from being in jail or rehab. I hope. Perhaps ObamaCare will help her if she goes online and pays the $400 a month. Right.

It has been aa lot of years since I have thought of Kim. I can remember her walking up to my cab when the "stand" was still in the parking lot of the Blue Pinguin. I would have thought she would have gotten her life back on track by now. Too bad. Larry 157
