Mondays

So as not to be alone Otto went to the bar around the corner, the one that is actually around three corners, with the mauve walls. On Mondays there is a Belgian there cutting hair. The bartender is a woman called Eliot who is French but pronounces Eliot like in English. The last time Otto saw her she was growing her hair. The last time Otto saw her she was eating meat at the Spanish restaurant at the end of the block. Her lips were glistening from the fat. Actually, the walls aren't mauve but more like deep raspberry. That might also be wrong. In any case they aren't blue or green or black or yellow. It's probably not wrong that they are more like deep raspberry, even if they are not actually deep raspberry, if deep raspberry is even a color. It was Monday, and Otto washed his hair in case he decided to have it cut.
