The two fat ladies sell soft toys &
bric a brac from their stall which they
unpack from large cardboard cartons
they must have had to shrink to fit inside
their minuscule car. Both are as wide
as they are tall their smiles warm and
their customers all greeted effusively
like they really matter. When we first met
them I had to ask how they fitted into
an unbelievably small car. There was
no malice or derogatory intent I genuinely
wanted to know. They smiled coyly and
said like it was the stone cold truth that
it took years of practice.
