Love, Mom

The Traveler,

Some hours go by, my delicate high was beginning to wear off. You could see it in my entire demeanor as the perk slowly drifts into the unknown. Opioid addiction shows, it shows, body, mind and spirit. Thinking of spirit, my lush began to wear off, Reality set in, the register began a beacon of benediction, I was ready for a drink. Dipsomaniac cartoon child, wild as fire.

So like any normal human being and since I was working with stupid, I looked at stupid and said,

Hey there stupid, or Jeff I’m sorry I will be leaving now to go caught all those delicate and delicious cool drinks in the cooler, that okay? For you can sweep and mop while I ya know cool myself down a bit, Is that Cool Jeff?

Stupid rarely would answer instead he made strange mouth gestures and head nods, he agreed to let me take my petition to the cooler, just in time for me to drop a big ass dirty thirty right on the coolers little floor, ah how clever was eyes

Oops oh know!

Stupid replies, How did that happen, don’t worry ill just log it in, boss lady want care.

Those were probably the smartest words stupid ever said, man I miss that guy. Last time I tried to steal and drink on company time that Taylor got me,

Lemme go stock some shit Tay Tay

Tay Tay- Nah Nate I Know what you be doing in the cooler I aint covering for your dumbass know more just wait till we get off

Like really?

I replied with no answer, to the cooler I was off, she logged it anyway, boss lady don’t care. Just Mark It in the book get over the train Taylor, Its almost over the shifts almost over,

You going to Koles Tonight Naters?

I replied like the astounding, astute and astonishing dumbass that I was, Of Course.

Its all the same fucking day man, (Joplin)
