i saw bug coming out of the scrub by the tracks with a styrofoam takeout container. lulu went bonkers. we talked about the country, nevermind. bug's friend came, said can you get the dog away. bug said he's not an animal person. he said i just don't like saliva, which i get but what a vibe. we were just saying money's the root of all evil, smiling and laughing. i get it, but felt like he didn't like us animals. sorry you don't like animals, i said leaving. i don't like saliva he reiterated. i get it, sadly. i have little idea what their life is like, but i'm glad bug talks to me. it's hard to get real in a separate reality.
