3851. LAUREL ARMS

LAUREL ARMS
'Saying one thing and doing
another  -  a run-on sentence
of stopping and halt. My man,
this table wobbles and you'll be
my waiter tonight? What is this?
-
Anyway - 'was saying' - came back
that day just before midnight, the
door was already open when I
arrived and someone was there
crying in the vestibule alcove.
Couldn't make out nothing else.
Went upstairs.
-
Isn't it funny how we skewer
the truth though, when it doesn't
fit our purposes? And in that
early morning light I really
couldn't see a thing  -  the
rainwater making all that
noise, the woman crying
in the corner. Sorry.'
