June 4, 1972

I don't know if it's the heat or what but Florida is turning into one of my favourites I managed to keep it cool at the party  last night I must've had a lot of guts  I finally asked her I was nervous and  tired from the heat I could've sworn she said yes  but I guess she did 

The way she kissed me Jesus Christ   Had we never went home I would've married her then and there she 's over Quincy 's now helping with his nana man I wonder what she's up to I think I'll call her up

I guess Lawrence heard me moving around when he walked in the kitchen I glared at him in disgust watching him slush around whatever was in his throat spitting it out in the sink  what're you looking at ? A greasy slime ball I muttered turning the dials on the phone ha that's a good one you write that one yourself  ? Actually no your old lady taught me heh I left that old broad in 62 Christy ? Good memory he chuckled how is she ? The hell should I know probably married with one of them Mayer husbands living in one of them cottages she always talk about who you callin ? A shrill of panic rushed over just a friend it's that what they call it nowadays ? He chuckled here drink some of this you look like you can use it more than me i shrugged gulping down the peculiar grey drink Jesus I wheezed what the hell is this stuff ?

Moonshine   I make it myself that one right they're s called down bye the silvery moon well it's awful ah don't be a baby put a little hair on your chest I'll pass your loss why are you being so nice  ?  Look i don't hate ya dal I never have  to be honest with you I'm only mad at myself is that why you  get drunk  ?  Part of it to cope I guess  to cope with what ? With things you won't understand he sighed  but I guess  your old enough  now to know  know what ?   Listen you'd better sit down  for this   I eyed him sitting on  one of the stools  about your dad what about that bastard  ?  Now hang  on let me finish   Me your mother and pops  used to be real close when we were younger almost   Like kin get to the point old man

Me and your mother used to date before you came along you what ? She still loved me when she was with your father so we thought it was better to stay friends but then she got sick tears welling in his eyes do you have any idea how hard it was living with him ? He didn't even she was the only one I'm so sorry kid I didn't think it would turn out this way you know what it's cool man I sniffled where you goin ? To go see my girl catch ya later i was already a tearing mess as soon as i hit the curb i hated to cry my ma used to say it let's us know we're human she was the only one that truly knew me besides Johnny and I feel like I barely know her at all I threw my last cigarette on the pavement while i waited for bill to answer the door Hey Dal Sorry about calling I got caught up w- hey what's wrong ?
