As I passed him I heard the guttural laugh the knee slapping the astringent mixture of the hilarious and sinister. We were partners of sorts with no formal introduction. He knew what my sorry ass had been up to. How I made that m-f mole hill into a mountain. And I better move my bone-ugly hide-- And save that chicken-shit walk that head -tilting attitude for someone who hasn't seen it before, and has time to give a good God damn.
