Curly takes a trip

“I never did heroin, except for one time, this guy shot me up. This white guy, down there on Sunset Boulevard. That was in 1966. He said if you ate anything that day, you’d get sick. It was a good high, but that was the last time I did that.

“Another time, this guy gave me half a pill. He said, ‘This is LSD.’ I said a little half-pill like that ain’t gonna do nothing to me, but I took it and I was messed up for 12 hours! I went to a party, and the pretzels started moving!

“That was the last time I fucked with that. I only take regular medicine, now.”

a real pisser

This morning I saw a young man piss himself in the street. He just stood there, stock still and locked to the spot, while a wet stain darkened the inseam of his ratty light blue jeans. Eventually it ran down over the back heel of one of his worn Chuck Taylors, splitting into a pair of tiny streams that snaked along the concrete.
