When the Lights Go Out


"BMX is in a good place right now."

Hung out with Wayne on the stoop again today- and everything was going great! Had a couple beers, talked about motorcycles (Wayne crashed his first one within the first 36 hours), his being stationed in Germany and chilling in bomb shelters every day, his post-war habit of doing Quaaludes and tearing around Greensboro...we even discussed how his last roommate drugged one of his beers and then made off with 500 bucks. He tells the best stories! If half of them are true, dude's lived a life.

BUT, as we went our separate ways after saying goodbye, I heard him mutter that he loved me- under his breath. F***, if he keeps escalating his weird goodbyes every time we hang, I'm gonna be in trouble in a minute or two! Like I said though, he's not dangerous. Just lonely. And he tells great stories.
