Seen on the ground next to a bus bench: two used pregnancy test kits and an empty pack of smokes.
The conversation that went with them? Maybe this is how it went…
“Can I bum a smoke?”
“Sure, but not if you’re pregnant.”
“I’m not.”
“Prove it.”
“Okay.” Pees on tester. “See. Not pregnant.”
“Maybe. But you got that from the Dollar Store, so how do we know it’s accurate?”
“Cuz I got two of them. I’ll do it again. This time you hold it, to prove I’m not messing with it.”
“Okay.”
Pees on second stick. “See. NOT pregnant.”
Wipes pee-wet hand on own shirt. “Fine. Here’s a smoke. Do you need a light, Steve?”
“Nah. I’m good.”
