Two farm kids in the parking lot, spitting sideways, ballcaps turned forwards. Arms knotted with muscle, hands hard as rocks-big as cocanuts. Chest big around as barrels- how do small legs support such heavy trunks? Slurring harsh speech, swinging- bloody noses. What a way to decide who should leave the tip. One pukes after being slugged in the gut. Laughing, the other doesn't notice the spewing man's girlfriend, swiping at his chin.
Reason for writing:
I'm from Missouri-fights like these are very common.
