raze
it
didn't
matter
how
much
he
drank
.
i
never
saw
him
get
drunk
.
he
just
got
funnier
.
but
i
heard
tequila
was
his
undoing
.
before
i
was
born
,
he
came
home
late
one
night
after
spending
hours
slamming
back
shots
of
jose cuervo
in
a
bar
somewhere
.
his
wife
heard
moaning
.
she
found
him
in
the
backyard
making
love
to
the
clothesline's galvanized steel pole —
not
fast
and
sloppy,
but
in
a
languid
,
loving
way
.
it
was
the
only
time
he
ever
cheated
on
her
.
