they were high

How high? someone could ask

so high they shared diarrhea stories

                                     their sojourn began when he admitted that before he went to bed last night he said out loud Im going to have diarrhea during the night

Max howled

                    when he was able to contain himself he said You said OUT LOUD to yourself that you were going to have diarrhea?

Yup

Going, going to have diarrhea?

    Yes

          I felt something shift in my guts an said as much so I informed my brainmy body to be on high alert to wake me so I would wake up alone

Wake up alone, what the hell are you talking about?

Jesus man so I didnt shit the bed

OH, oh, oh.

             What made you think you’d have a problem during the nigh . .

they didnt talk frequentlyhadnt since they shared a bed a bedroom as boys in their parents home

his brother enlisted in the Marinesbeat him out of the house

he followed inside a year and aside from brief visits he did not live in his parents home again

his brother returned home four years later

since their mother died they talked more than they had in the previous thirty years

he had kids his brother had kids

                                    pretty simple math children absorbed ones time if one did it right

but they were talking now

talked when he called

that hadnt changed

he always had to make the overture

unfortunately he had the time

his children moved away as he expected them too he raised them his wife died he lived alone

when they spoke he made the caveat that they would speak honestly and unsparingly (that was code for him crying)

his brother was his best friend growing up

they befriended two others who also became best friends

                                                                   one had died

his mother-in-law told him if he could count best friends on one hand he was blessed

a year into their renewed telephone conversations his brother would tease him Are we going to be unsparing?

hed laugh

              Lets see how it goes no telling

No, I suppose not; no telling.

Not at all
