Cuz

After Catholic schools, eight years off helicopter zip lines, fast, "cuz next guy’s on your ass." Tore up his knees like he "lit up" Afghanistan. Starts with shots, wants to get me; "Thanks, but I'm working." SoCo. Jameson. Jack. Everyone’s empties thud down. Second mistake: wants the world to feel like him. Told the judge “Pure anger, sir.” 18 months was as good as it gets. “Bitch” has his money; his adult kids been five years silent. Laughs, says he’s glad Dad beat him cuz he "gotta good work ethic." Two hours later, his boss arrives, takes him home.
