all the people
I worked with

(can we get a glass of wine)

move really slow
(years)
and a quick step
to the bathroom

put on your hat
and coat
and gloves
and necklace
and boots

(what’d you do before?)

“I was bad. I mean real bad.”
and he flicks his cigarette
and I distort his story
an actor and acquaintance
“I was an alcoholic
and an addict.”

what’d you do before?

I distorted his story
