I bumped into Jimmy the other morning
- it would have helped if you were looking where you were going
It was on a street corner
- No we weren't. We were outside that restaurant, the fancy one you like to be seen in.
Neither of us were looking where we were going
- Speak for yourself
I dropped my paper.
- I'll give you that one
You said
- I didn’t recognise you
How? Is it the beard?
- No
He was blunt and quick
- And honest. I'm only being honest
So what is it?
- You look tired
There were many things I wanted to say, wish I'd said, but instead spluttered,
Thanks
- And old.
Don’t spare me
- I won't. You not well? You look fucked?
And you wonder why we haven't seen each other in
- Must dash
Jimmy added
- You know me. I hate being late
