CRUISE

I’m sure you have a lot more interesting people to visit than me.

Oh you don’t?

Well then, fix me up some more crystal light and take a seat. 

You’re not a nun are ya?

My dad was a minister in Texas where I’m from.

That was weird.

I was on a cruise by myself, my partner’s too old to come with me. I’m going to be 84.

I look young.

Drank so much I poisoned myself and when we docked in NY I had to come here. 

The plan from here?

I’ll get out tomorrow I think and head home and into a rehab, you know?

You do?

Oh. you have experience with stuff like that?

oh. Huh.

So I’ll go back to Texas.

I’m going to be 84.

I think I’ll be ok.
