l'absinthe

ok, so today there was a woman dining alone at table b-3...on the banquette, with her back up against the wall....who looked so forlorn, and saggy-shouldered, and down-in the mouth...that it hit me just who i was looking at......edgar degas painted her in a paris bistro, drinking absinthe............the woman in the painting has the same look of dejection, hopelessness, and alcohol-enhanced apathy................so sad.............all that was missing was the hat....................
