JIMMY HE CAME OVER AND ASKED IF HE COULD TALK TO US THEY HAD KICKED HIM OUT ALREADY ONCE FOR THE HALF PINT VODKA IN HIS BACK POCKET THAT IS NOT ALLOWED IN A NICE COFFEESHOP. HE PROCEEDED TO STARE US DOWN SHAKE HIS HEAD ROLL HIS EYES AROUND SAYING I’M NO PSYCHOTIC I DON’T WANT TO KILL BUT IT’S JUST TOO EASY ONCE THEY SHOW YOU HOW. SAYING FRANKY AND TOMMY AND JUMPY JOE ALL GONE TO PRISON OR CALIFORNIA OR JUST VANISHED DOWN THE ROAD. AND I GOT A SON I HAVE NEVER SEEN I DON’T WANT HIM TO KNOW ME. SAYING YOU SEE THAT PIANO THERE SHOULD WE THROW A BOTTLE AT IT SHOULD WE SMASH IT INTO EMPTY AIR MY BROTHER BOBBY COULD HAVE MADE IT SING IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME WELL I DON’T CARE. SAYING I’M NO PSYCHOTIC BUT THIS IS THE WAY YOU WATCH SIXTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE DIE IN ONE DAY THEY TELL YOU TO KILL EVERYTHING THAT MOVES AND THEY AIRLIFT ONE LITTLE BROWN GIRL AWAY. AND HE WINCED AND HE GRINNED AND HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND HE SWUNG BETWEEN PROTECTIVE AND HOMICIDAL HE WAS DELIBERATELY INSULTING AND I DIDN’T MIND BUT IT’S NOT NICE TO SHOW THE WAR YOU’RE LIVING INSIDE. SO THE MANAGER CAME OVER AND WE JUST WATCHED AS HE SAID I TOLD YOU ONCE ALREADY NOW GO GET LOST HE TOOK JIMMY’S BOTTLE OUTSIDE WHISTLED TO HIM LIKE A DOG THEN HE CAME BACK INSIDE WENT BACK TO WORK AT THE NICE COFFEESHOP. SAYING FRANKY AND TOMMY AND JUMPY JOE ALL GONE TO PRISON OR CALIFORNIA OR JUST VANISHED DOWN THE ROAD. AND I GOT A SON I HAVE NEVER SEEN I DON’T WANT HIM TO KNOW ME. Summer
