The Weekend
It started without water. It ends with a six pack of beer & a $20 bill. In between, there were 600 miles, a great flood, a trail of tears, a dog named “Bleu,” Taboo, and a space shuttle nearly landing on top of me. It included sex, drugs (the Rx kind), and rock n’ roll, a chili bowl, Jabba the Hut & kiss my butt. There was also mom’s bacon & eggs, tule fog, a singing frog, two stops in Primm, a guy named Mike and a pair of red couches. I enjoyed lunch at Frugatti’s, being naughty, five bad scratchers, snacks at Del Taco and getting to play “big bro” again, if only for a day.
I’m sure there’s more, but straight up, it’s time to get some sleep in this city where it’s never easy to come by. As Yoda says, “Rest, rest… …unexpected this is.”
