WASHED UP
Short, round, wide flat nose in the middle of his puffy shiny face, Thin whiskers pointing in every direction, This man... Scrubbing his hands in the restroom with a lot of water, yanking paper towels from the dispenser. . .more paper towel s and he wiped his hands with them. More towels, furiously rubbing-- He ripped four or five more paper towels...opened the door and left the restroom. Outside he was squeezing the paper towels in his left hand talking to a friend and laughing. Later he was looking at sex videos next to the Drama section--nothing I haven't done Thumbing through racks of sex videos-- While I was torn between. . . Double Indemnity with Barbara Stanwyck . . . Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges Where did the wax-like puffy man ditch his paper towels? I think. His sterilized hands. I bought Crazy Heart , wondered where the man was going, If he bought any videos. And where he dumped the paper towels.
