Tires on gravel, brakes. Gasoline stink. A car door opens and shuts. Sweat, mosquito bites, crunch crunch, across the lot, an idling truck, neon, the door swings onto floorboards, spilled booze, spit, tobacco juice. Have a cold one. There’s a scratch on your neck. Hey, fuck you, friend. The joint is filling up. Eugene’s in town? Have another. You’re going to run into three people you haven’t seen in a while. Each of them has a thing to tell you.
