Dad and i were talking one time 

about depression

seems like no one in our family ever suffered from it

we mostly had a beer obsession

"Billy boy," he would say.

"I don't remember anyone ever being depressed.

Maybe a little silly, too talkative

or what we called a little crazy, at best."

He laughed and finished his beer

"I think they just want to get high as an eagle.

I think depression is just an excuse.

To get good drugs ... legal."
