Ordure

She steps in the same shit time and time again. It would almost be funny, if it weren't so overwhelmingly gross and pathetic first. Though she wipes her shoes, everyone knows it's just a temporary fix. She'll do it again tomorrow. Is she stupid? Stubborn? Oblivious? No. No, I think she believes -- she really and truly believes -- that one day she'll go outside and put down her foot and there will be nothing but the simple, solid sidewalk. And then she'll be free to walk as she pleases. No shit to foul her way.
