another day of being an organism

"Do you have anything to drink at your house?" Greg wanted to know.

"Water." I told him.

"Well, let's get something to drink, like some cokes or something"

"Well okay but they're going to be warm"

"We can just put some ice in them"

I looked at him.

"You don't have ICE?" he demanded.

I started laughing.

"Jesus Christ!" he went on "No Hot water, no stove, no ICE. It's like you just go home and collapse and throw a blanket over yourself."

He mimed a mummy stumbling around.

"Unnnnnh!" he moaned, "Another day of being an organism! Unnnnnh!"

My laughs bounced off of linoleum and packages of cookies and soda bottles and rattled around in the grocery store on another day of being an organism.
