"
You
watch
them
.
That
kind
will
steal
the
plumbing
.
"
142
She
closed
the
door
.
143
Lydia
arrived
late
.
She
came
through
the
door
like
an
actress
.
The
first
thing
I
noticed
was
her
large
cowboy
hat
with
a
lavender
feather
pinned
to
the
side
.
She
didn
t
speak
to
me
but
immediately
sat
down
next
to
a
young
bookstore
clerk
and
began
an
intense
conversation
with
him
.
I
began
drinking
more
heavily
and
some
of
the
drive
and
humor
left
my
conversation
.
The
bookstore
clerk
was
a
good
enough
sort
,
trying
to
be
a
writer
.
His
name
was
Randy
Evans
but
he
was
too
far
into
Kafka
to
accomplish
any
kind
of
literary
clarity
.
We
had
published
him
in
The
Laxative
Approach
rather
than
hurt
his
feelings
and
also
to
get
distribution
for
the
magazine
through
his
bookstore
.

I
drank
my
beer
and
wandered
around
.
I
walked
out
on
the
back
porch
,
sat
on
the
stoop
in
the
alley
and
watched
a
large
black
cat
trying
to
get
into
a
garbage
can
.
I
walked
down
towards
him
.
He
leaped
off
the
garbage
can
as
I
approached
.
145
He
stood
3
or
4
feet
away
watching
me
.
I
took
the
lid
off
the
garbage
can
.
The
stench
was
horrible
.
I
puked
into
the
can
.
I
dropped
the
lid
on
the
pavement
.
The
cat
leaped
up
,
stood
,
all
four
feet
together
upon
the
rim
of
the
can
.
He
hesitated
,
then
brilliant
under
a
half
-
moon
,
he
leaped
into
it
all
.
146
Lydia
was
still
talking
to
Randy
,
and
I
noticed
that
under
the
table
one
of
her
feet
was
touching
one
of
Randy
s
.
I
opened
another
beer
.
147
Sammy
had
the
crowd
laughing
.
I
was
a
little
better
at
it
than
he
was
when
I
wanted
to
get
the
crowd
laughing
but
I
wasn
t
very
good
that
night
.
There
were
15
or
16
men
and
two
women
-
Lydia
and
April
.
April
was
on
ATD
and
fat
.
She
was
stretched
out
on
the
floor
.
After
an
hour
or
so
she
got
up
and
left
with
Carl
,
a
burned
-
out
speed
freak
.
That
left
15
or
16
men
and
Lydia
.
I
found
a
pint
of
scotch
in
the
kitchen
,
took
it
out
on
the
back
porch
,
and
had
a
bite
now
and
then
.

The
men
began
leaving
gradually
as
the
night
went
on
.
Even
Randy
Evans
left
.
Finally
there
was
only
Sammy
,
Lydia
and
myself
.
Lydia
was
talking
to
Sammy
.
Sammy
said
some
funny
things
.
I
was
able
to
laugh
.
Then
he
said
he
had
to
go
.
149
"
Please
don
t
go
,
Sammy
,
"
said
Lydia
.
150
"
Let
the
kid
go
,
"
I
said
.
