new to the forum but written a while back as i've pretty much abandoned writing for hte past few years all this stuff is older...
anyway
The Layout (For Charles Bukowski)
We had this argument about milk She wanted the skim but I wouldn’t hear of it
She says she’s going to Ireland She wants to get away from me I ask her if she speaks Irish She grabs her wallet and walks out Take off my Boston Celtics shirt and follow her out to the car saying
“But honey don’t go yet Look You can borrow my t-shirt” She leaves tire marks in the pavement
That night she comes home drunk We were quitting booze together
“Was your plane delayed?” “Get bent” “All right sweet heart I will”
I drive to Petty John’s and buy a bottle of cheap bourbon
When I get back she is sitting on the couch She is watching “Barfly” It’s our favorite movie I go in the kitchen and make a drink I put it down right there in one pull “What are you doing in there” She says “I’m making us a drink” I pour mine straight on the rocks and add a little soda to hers I walk out and sit down next to her on the couch
Henry has gone to Wanda’s apartment with her They have a drink and she tells him she doesn’t ever want to fall in love “Don’t worry” He says “Nobody’s ever loved me yet”
She begins massaging my neck and rubbing the back of my head
“I’m sorry about before” I say
I down my drink She puts hers down too and says
“Make us another”
