This woman is actually 4 inches shorter than I. Her eyes would look across at my nose. The perception is all sorts of things for short people, intimidation, envy, insecurities, instant sort of weird respect if you are not scared.
I've never been scared of little people. Unless they have a gun. I've never been scared of other people in a physical sense unless they are as big as me or bigger.
A friend once said that she thought I had no natural predators. She watched me on Venice beach dismissing a panhandler. You can get away with that sort of shortness with people. It's a little like fulfilling the angry father. Everyone knows to slip away.
Anyway, let's talk about tall.
