"ah," he said.
He didn't like to turn over much. That's for damn sure.
"ah," she said. She had to pick his ass up every day.
You know the story. The working class hero is something to be. Every
god damn day a man works his ass off for his pennies and then spends
them on shit he don't need and his condolence is that "at least
he is happy." And then later his wife dies and he is left pissing
and shitting in his own old seat.
And there were really two stories to him. The one that he told while
he's sober and the one that he told while he is drunk. You know
there are people like that. There are people who get sad, happy,
shitty, whorey, angry, laughy, suck-dicky, rapie, pissy (both metaphorically
and physically), and all. You've all seen them. And they usually
get drunk the same way. I don't know what you could call this old
man. I guess you could say that he was a tired drunk. Tired and
conversational. He'd talk your ear off and keep going forever.
There are different types of talkers you know. There are those talkers
that like to talk and talk a lot, but still listen and can hold
on the most best conversation that you have ever heard. And there
are those conversationalists that don't shut the fuck up. I know
I am one of the later. I've only met one person in my life that
I liked to listen to them more than myself-because most people make
voices for their fucking cat or talk about how they don't understand
how they are fat when they eat like 10,000 calories in one day.
And this man was one of the later too. He is one of those that you
can actually fall asleep, wake up, and then realize that the bastard
is still talking to you and won't shut up. And then your like what
the fuck will you shut the fuck up already? But he doesn't even
see that look in your eye he never does.
