Party Time, thank fuck, was able to
secure himself a crisis loan from the brew today – so this weekend we'll
be eating.
I was beginning to think that he was
going to eat the cat (not calling him Gore Vidal anymore) so hungry
was he. His stomach rumbled all last night, something sounding like the pained
moans of a wounded creature echoing through the deep, dark cave it'd crawled away to die in.
When I am hungry like this I swallow my
spit a lot. Swallow, swallow swallow. As a child I thought I didn't
need to work in school to get a good job cos you didn't need money,
really:
- And what you gonna eat. What food you
gonna buy with no money? - Scolded Mother when I began striking from
doing homework.
- I'll eat my own shit if it comes to
it. Eat it, Shit it, Eat it, Shit it – Just go and sit somewhere
along Castle Street begging till I make up enough coin to get me a Big
Mac Meal...and...Eat it, Shit it, Eat it, Shit it...
- What is WRONG with you, eh? Trembled
Mother.
And last night I were thinking, really:
was my childhood naivety and general lack of rudimentary biological &
toxicological facts really so naïve? Were it really so bad? To eat
yer own feces if absolutely starving? Those chicks in 2girls 1cup did
it, and them on 'specialised' pornstar wages, they wouldn't have needed to
eat shit cos they were starving, but cos they wanted to get paid –
and so if you can eat shit to get paid you can eat shit to eat is
what I were turning over in my dried up, nutrient starved brain.
I proposed my ideas to Party Time but
he didn't like em at all.
He told me it were beyond savage. That
a savage would kill and eat another savage,:
- Bat somethan b'yand savage eat at awn
shat!
- What about we shoot a few birds outta
Mrs Mullberry's trees and eat them?
- Nah. Ah wall nat eat a crate-ture aff
thah ska.
I rolled around holding my belly and
nibbling on an orange peel I found up the side of the cooker. Party
Time began doing exercises.
- Ah hav idea, Danny.
- What?
- Ah wash tinkin. Wah fatagraft papals'
cradat card.
- How we manage to do that? And why?
- Ah danna yacht, hah. But aff wah culd,
wah have all thah dat-tails wah need tah rap a cant aff jast fram ah
sall-fone fatta aff thah frant aff has card, an mammary-rising thah
scare-ity nambah an thah bach an rattin thah dan wan his gane!
- That's not a bad idea Party Time. Not
at all is that a bad idea. Cos that's all you need, right? The 'Long
Number', the name, valid to – and – from, all what you'll get of
the phone-photo of the front of it...and that security number yiv got
written down. Then we'll go online and buy up a loada shit. Sell it
down in Cash Convertors, what we don't want! Fuckin hell, you big
cunt, that's the first brilliantly criminal thing yiv come up with,
despite yer gangster leanings. Goddamn! I may be starving, but this
deserves a fitting tune, cousin!!! We'll think of HOW we do it when
we've something in our bellies and our energy's up!
