the underwear drawer

overheard

As I was waiting for the light to change on my way home from the store, I was standing at the crosswalk with two people, a black woman wearing a long coat that sported bold brown, black and white tribal patterns all over it with a matching hat, and a white guy walking two dogs.


GUY
Hey, I like your jacket.

LADY
Thanks.

GUY
And I like your hat. They match.

LADY
Thanks.

GUY
I love your jacket and your hat.

(Beat)

GUY
Do you want to marry me?

LADY
I'll think about it.
