Bad greasy eggs
Note: This is a private post to me. So if it doesn't make any sense, sorry...you're not me.

It all smells like bad greasy eggs. The requests, the ideas, the same old same old. Where did I first remember the smell of those eggs? In rural Jamaica, I think.
In a backwater country neighborhood where there was no hot water and the cleaning girl, whose jamaican english I couldn't understand scrubbed the sand out of my hair while I sat in a metal pot.
I longed for somewhere else...but home in New York wasn't that much better. Queens had it's own bad eggs slathered in grease. Who am I fooling? Bad greasy eggs...it's the smell of poverty.
What to do with this? Pay attention, yes. Decisions? That's another story...
