cussed. He started at 12. Jack smoked. He started at 14. Jack drank. He’d
started at 15. Jack fucked. He started at 19. Jack wasted time and got wasted.
Jack was a waste. Jack loved and lost and loved again. Losing quit meaning so
much. Jack thought and he wondered, but not too long, not too hard. Jack smoked
and drank and fucked and got wasted and gave up and tried again, and never gave
it too much thought. Jack looked at the clock. Time moved slowly when it shouldn’t
and time moved fast when it shouldn’t. Jack asked Eleanor if she liked that
musical group. She didn’t. Eleanor smoked, and drank, and cussed. Jack wondered
if she’d fuck, how she’d fuck. Jack and Eleanor got wasted. They didn’t fuck.
When they woke up, it was late as hell.

ReplyDeleteJack seems like an alright guy.
