The air outside is hot
The air is stifling
The dogs are laying in the shade
The old man is sitting on the stoop
Playing the blues with his harmonic
The people who pass by are smiling
The old man knows it all good

You know those days when you’ve got the mean reds… – Truman Capote / Breakfast at Tiffany’s
You know those days when you’ve got the mean reds…the blues are because you’re getting fat or maybe its been raining too long. You’re sad, that’s all. But the mean reds are horrible. You’re afraid and you sweat like hell, but you don’t know what you are afraid of. Except something bad is going to happen, only you don’t know what it is.
– Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, 1958, spoken by the character Holly Golightly
