Waterfront Journals
“My son is out of the army and finally off drugs … he’s not so much a problem anymore … my wife still gets angry as hell but I don’t know what to say to him. I mean he’s working fairly regularly, drives a cab, starts around midnight and works till six o’clock in the morning … we hardly have words these days because when he gets home around seven he goes right upstairs and hits the sack. Some nights he’ll get into an all-night card game with the fellas down at the taxi stand … I can’t get angry w...ith him … I mean, I don’t know what he’s been going through … he used to be a beautiful kid, long hair and built like an athlete. Now he’s gained weight he’s up to 250 pounds and lays around most of the time drinking beer but he does work. He rides in the car I bought him two years ago … god you should see that car now, what a mess, the two sides dented in like a nutcracker squeezed them, the back fenders hanging off and some days the backseat is piled up to the rear ledge with beer cans.MoreLess
