pickin em up and driving them
they’re not real independent
my father doesn’t want to drive here

not chronologically old
but physically mother has gotten very old
doesn’t walk well
and she’s always worried about her heart
she runs around with her nitroglycerin pills
she’ll probably out live me

my mother’s been like that
she’s been taking those pills forever
yeah
she’s still dying now
she’s been dying ever since i can remember
how long your folks been here for?
well i’m taking them to mexico tomorrow morning
i just said
what the fuck
she can die

she can die here
it doesn’t make a difference
and uh

no i’m kidding
but uh
no
she can go shopping in tijuana
she’ll love it
yeah
how long you gonna be gone for?
look at that backhand!
oh she is so good
powerful
oh she is good
i used to enjoy this game
me too
i just don’t like it when it gets
i can only play
if i play with somebody i know
and i like
right
exactly
but i don’t know anyone anymore
who likes to play just for
she’s so strong
what a backhand!
i played for months
i would come out here
find someone who just wanted to volley
then i started getting sucked into these doubles games
hated it
i don’t like doubles to begin with
i was never that good at placement
i like to run around the court
get a workout
look at that backhand
gorgeous!
now i’m in an aerobics program
at the westside Y
i thought to hell with it
i gotta lose some weight
oh you look good to me
bulging hips
yeah well
i always think you look good
you know that
i’m one of your supporters
it’s good to hear a little support
i need it
well i feel it
i’m thinking of becoming a nun
a recluse at least
a nun!
right up my alley
you can join my church
yeah?
i’m thinking of becoming a priest
we can have a real weird church
that sounds like fun
but
i don’t know
what if it’s just a game
another kind of game
ahhh
the game?
this game
this game?
THE game
oh THE game
well don’t play it as a game
do what you want to do
i have no rules
i only do what i like to do
well i do too
but there are so few things i really like to do
well
it’s your own fault in a way
is it?
if you’re bored it’s your own fault
oh no no no
i don’t mean that
i can find things to do
i always have fun
i just
i know
it’s very difficult to find someone
you know
to spend time with
oh man
that’s why i jumped on this thing when i found this woman
and i liked her
and she was supportive
and uh
uh huh
and she wanted to move in
so i let her
she didn’t want to hassle
going back and forth
from her apartment to
look at that backhand
what an unbelievable backhand
