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 towels 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.
