bullshitting
           leaning againstbetween cars under a sicklyyellow cone of streetlight

during gaps in scats of conversation they could hear crickets somewhere in the surrounding darkness
                                                                                                            They’re lucky.
Lucky? How are they lucky they’re bugs?

No no, I should have said they’re a symbol of good luck.

   Crickets?

In China.
           They’re also believed to be a symbol of prosperity, wealth, and abundance.

Weel fuck, we certainly enjoy an abundance of neither.

Speak for yourself

Like you got a pot to piss in.

I got wha I need

Like need is sufficient?

Listen to this guy wouldya, got what I need.
                                               Man, you lack ambition.
