amy anthropology Sugar. Evil. Destroys lives.

(But only in a literal sense.)

(sugar plantations. slaves. such a bad thing to have happened.)

That was the music we had in high school.

raze this old guy with a beard started talking to us at the pool hall one night. he kept going on about cocaine. he called it dummy dust. the way he said it, i thought it was the funniest thing i'd ever heard.

say that out loud. "dummy dust." sounds pretty silly, right?

he talked and talked and talked. i think he would have talked to a manhole cover. he was one of those people.

he asked if we smoked cigarettes.

"i don't," i said. "i always want to smoke a cigarette like a joint. i never really figured it out."

he glared at me.

"you're so full of shit," he said, "i can smell the stink coming off of you."

he was pissed. i was just being honest.

he put a quarter in the jukebox and played "pour some sugar on me" as a peace offering. he figured i would be into eighties hair metal because of the way i looked.

how wrong he was.
