“bums don’t bullshit. bums don’t pick up chicks. they say every dog has its day, die tomorrow or die today. i met one, we estimated it was three o’clock by the sun. we were both looking for winter coats. we’re the same size. he said i’d get my money’s worth because my coat was too big and didn’t have any mistakes. i gave him thirty cents, coats were three dollars, i didn’t have three dollars. he told me what to look for. but not to tell you, or i mess it up for myself. the bum will tell me a story, if i have one minute, that’s how long it takes. i didn’t understand every word but one time this bum had twenty-two dollars so he wanted to buy this other guy breakfast. he turned out to be an fbi agent, and i think he took this bum’s money. so when next we saw this government man, he gets him so mad he blows up and hits the bum. then the bum kicks his ass and the fbi agent loses his job. see, now he’ll never make captain. that seems fair to me. bums grow disabilities, bad teeth, slow legs, no coats, and can’t recall the right words, this one kept asking me, “what’s the other word?” but he said one thing. that he’s always liked me and once tried to tell me but i didn’t hear him. bums don’t pick up chicks. they don’t bounce checks. don’t pay rent. sore teeth, see too much of everything and don’t have any body to tell.”
