Chapter 20

After Luce left, I stayed at the bar for a while, got very drunk and all. I found my way to the phone booth and made a late-night call to Sally Hayes, she wasn't too happy about the time. The thing was, I really wanted to trim her tree at Christmas, so I asked her a few times, to make sure she would remember and all. After I had finished talking to Sally I decided to walk to the duck pond in Central Park to see if the ducks were still around. On the way, I broke the record I had bought for Phoebe, that depressed the hell out of me. Then I got worried about getting pneumonia, I had forgotten I had splashed my hair with water to try and sober myself up, my hair was now beginning o freeze. Then I got to thinking about if I died, what would my funeral be like, and who would be there. I didn't go to Allie's funeral because I was in the hospital after breaking the garage windows with my bare hands. But I remember going to Allie’s grave with my parents. Boy they fix you up when your dead. I though about old Phoebe and decided I'd sneak home and see her, my parent should be asleep. I'd be quite as hell.
