The Sound of a Voice

 

You wear an ankle bracelet. It's nobody's business why.

​

Of course, people stare at you at the grocery store. You tell them not to worry, you aren't some psycho. They are still nervous, so you end up telling them this – it was robbery – but you are careful to say you didn't rob anyone. Then you tell the old joke that you are the lamest robber ever to go to jail for six months. You laugh, and the person kind of laughs.

​

Hopefully, it all passes, and you can just buy your fucking milk.
