A Flushing Dream


Moms house smashed then disconnected old toilet. Meg, Bill, Gar go to Home Depot (in concord concord ave) to Buy a new one to install. The row of display toilets are all missing the tags for purchase so we ask our helper who indicates they are out of toilets. Unbelieving we meander around looking for help. We go to the customer service window and while waiting in line Johnny Sakkis comes in very tall and skinny wearing a striped sweater and sideways cap. You both look so skinny and are wearing sweaters I say hugging Johnny and Gar. “I’m fat”. So then delivery truck of toilets arrives and many workers begin to uncrate and un wrap all these toilets. We begin the selection process, they are all the wrong shape wrong color too expensive etc, one was very plain and still 500 dollars. I’m not paying 500 for a toilet. Where are all the 22-dollar toilets I saw when we got here? Some lady screams hey you wanna buy a toilet I gotta leave so hurry up and pick one; Meg picks a peach colored toilet. That wont work Meg it has to be white. I blow the lady off and find our original helper who is uncrating toilets. This one is 799, 799 it better wipe your ass for you, I think it does he says pointing to the array of buttons on the side. I just want a regular ol fucking toilet. We find one its normal its 56 $. Load it up. I am waiting in the parking lot of a random place smoking a cigarette with the camera and sweaters etc. no one comes for a long time so I walk across the street and Johnny and gar get out of a cab. Where the fuk have you been, where’s Meg, where’s the toilet. We left dude what the fuck this toilet thing is your deal. Fine I walk off across the parking lot through a girls softball game where the third baseman makes a diving catch from the pitcher face first and tags out the runner headed home down the third baseline all in one movement. Awesome. Meg and mom arrive with bags from home depot. Where’s the toilet, its in Megs car. Mom – don’t worry we’ll install it. NO. I’m gonna do it. Its ok you’ve done enough we’ll take care of it. NO. I’ve installed hundreds of toilets I want to do it, if you do it it will probably fucking leak ………
