Well, hell, I’d heard it before. Didn’t want to tell him that. Just laughed like I hadn’t. He was talking to me and I didn’t want to mess up no more. That beer was cold and we was laughing and drinking it and I had somebody setting on my bed talking to me, and you know, it was nice to have some company. It was so easy to just lay there and tell him to keep helping himself, and listen to him, and get a sip once in a while. Diva had been taking care of me, understand, but this was somebody different. Had a different life. Lived in a different place. His own world outside this one.

Shit, he could talk about movies, man, he knew them actors. He could tell you the whole story of a movie, who was in it, what they said. But I knowed before the night was over I was gonna have to ask him again about The Young Lions. Cause it wasn’t no other way out. Cause nice as it was right then, it wasn’t going to last. Sun was gonna come up again. And I’d be laying here with no place to go. I was tired to my soul, Jesus, hope You understand. And be merciful. Hope You was merciful to Hugh Jean, whoever he was. Might’ve bent over behind that mule on purpose. Might’ve been toting too much pain. A man can get more than he can tote. You know that. Didn’t You ask for the cup to pass on? And I’m sorry for what they done to You. Wish I’d been there to help You. I’d have laid em to waste. Put em to the sword. But Your will be done.
