I saw Peggy the fentanyl, or fetty, addict here in Honolulu Hawaii. She had not one, but two, black eyes she was wearing one of the pretty dresses given to her by the client of another girl whose wife buys all of her clothes in sets of threes and then leaves them in their packages for years, until finally the husband gives them to his hooker, and that hooker gives them to Peggy. It might surprise people to know that a basic expense like clothing is something the working girls rarely have because their clothes are stolen by them, or given to them by people seeking to curry favor.  Peggy acquired her silk dress in the usual fashion and was wearing  it with two black eyes. She had it on because she wanted to make herself feel better. I asked her how did that happen Who did it? A man or a woman? She said a woman.  Why? An attempted robbery and/or an accusation of looking at the other woman’s boyfriend were the stated reasons. In truth people just want to take what Peggy gets because she’s successful working the streets and finding as she calls them clients because she is on the young side although not young by society standards. And she is white and while there are some white hookers in downtown Honolulu it is racially diverse as the rest of Honolulu which means not everybody is white but for those who prefer white girls, Peggy is there plus he’s got that easy going agreeable personality that makes it easy for her to keep herself and her roommates and drugs. People know this success story that she has going so they wait for her to come race walking down the street back towards the apartment she stays with and with two gay friends. They know when she’s got a certain walk that she’s going to pick up dope, or as they say, “pick up,” and they know who she goes to see the people who sit along the stone walls all day long by a la park because they’re selling this or that and Peggy likes this and that. They can choose to jump her before she buys something and get the cash or afterwards when she has the dope I guess it’s a matter of preference. In any case people make the effort to take from her whether they are men or women. One thing about Honolulu is there is not a lot of gun violence, hardly in fact certainly none that you hear about. But people like to fight even grown men and women have no problem this fighting which might have seemed ridiculous to me in my educated East Coast bubble but over here it’s just normal and no one feels ridiculous at all for what they call “throwing blows” or “scrapping”. I am not certain how the fight ended. Fist fights are naturally short and duration because it takes a lot of cardiovascular strength to keep fighting like that and people wear out very quickly I do believe that is what happened I think Peggy held on to her stuff. She sacrificed quite a lot to get it and she’s not going to give it up without a fight of her own.
