The bog in my arm pits and my oily complexion are subtle reminders.
I step over three-day-old dog **** pick up my guitar, play three chords then put it down.
Sit down at my computer. Watch **** for hours.
Futile.
New idea. Watch television.
Click the channel button a few hundred times and then some.
Finally, a scenario worth watching. A fragile, old man with shaky hands offering his wallet, pressed against a brick wall with a gun to his face, begging and pleading for his life. Without hesitation the petty thief shoots the poor ******* right between the eyes, killing him instantly and escaping with the wallet.
I start to imagine what it would be like to have that pistol in my face, threatened for my life. I couldn't be so **** lucky. However earlier today I did find a quarter with heads facing up...
I reach for my wallet and head out the door.
