HOUSE OF THE RISING SON

IT’S FUNNY, THOUGH SOMETIMES THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO IS GO ON A BENDER. HANK MOODY STYLE. DO SOME THINGS THAT DON’T MATTER SO THAT YOU CAN REMEMBER THE THINGS THAT DO. 

ON THE MENU TONIGHT? I MET A SLICK COSTA RICAN MAN. I’VE MET MANY OTHERS…BUT THIS ONE STUCK FOR MORE THAN A MOMENT. HE LOOKS EXACTLY THE WAY A DRUG LORD WOULD, AND MAYBE THAT’S WHAT HE IS. 

SOMETIMES I WONDER IF MOTHERS TELL THEIR SONS TO BE KIND. I WONDER IF THEY TELL THEIR SON’S TO BE KIND AS MUCH AS THEY TELL THEIR DAUGHTERS TO BE CAUTIOUS.

I’M DOING THE VERY THING I USED TO GET UPSET WITH BIGHEAD FOR DOING. I’VE DISAPPEARED. I DON’T ANSWER MY PHONE FOR MY FRIENDS AND I’VE BEGUN AVOIDING THE FAMILY SKYPE TALKS. MY MUM AND DAD JUST WORRY, AND SEEING THEM WORRY MAKES ME WORRY TOO.
