Belief
A group of senior citizens on a bench in Washington Square Park in New York City. There were two female senior citizens and two male senior citizens.
"Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit," one of the women said suddenly. She turned her head to each of the four corners of an imaginary room as she did so.
The other senior citizens stared at her.
"Why did you do that?" one of the men asked.
"Its the first of the month. If you say rabbit four times, once to each corner of the room, or the space that you are in, on the first of the month before you eat lunch, then you will be loved in that month."
Some angry black people walked by carrying steel-band instruments and bunches of flowers.
"I dont think thats true," the second woman senior citizen said. "I never heard it before and Ive heard everything."
"I think its probably just an old wives tale," one of the men said. The other male senior citizen cracked up.
"Shall we discuss old men?" the first woman asked the second woman.
The two men looked at the sky to make sure all of our countrys satellites were in the right places.
"What about your daughter the nun?" the second woman, whose name was Elise, asked the first, whose name was Kate. "You havent heard from her?"
"My daughter the nun," Kate said, "you wouldnt believe."
"Where is she?" Elise asked. "Georgia or somewhere, you told me but I forgot. Going to school you said."
"Shes getting her masters," Kate said, "they send them. Shes a rambling wreck from Georgia Tech. I was going down to visit at Thanksgiving."
