Sal:
OUT OF ALL THE GUYS,

I KNEW CHICKEN:

THE LONGEST AND THE BEST.

WE WENT TO CATHOLIC

GRADE SCHOOL TOGETHER,

ST. MARY'S

DOWN ON 23rd AVENUE.

WHEN CHICKEN WAS 10,

HE AND HIS BROTHER DAVID

WERE COMING HOME

FROM A YANKEE GAME,

AND RIGHT IN FRONT

OF CAVALERO PARK

ON BATH AVENUE,

2 KIDS PULLED ASIDE

DAVID'S CAR

AND SHOT HIM:

IN THE FACE.

I WAS IN THE PARK

WHEN THAT HAPPENED,

AND ME AND A FEW KIDS

RAN TO DAVID'S CAR.

THAT WAS THE FIRST DEAD BODY

I HAD EVER SEEN.

CHICKEN,

I DON'T KNOW HOW,

WAS ALIVE:

IN THE BACK SEAT SOBBING,

"THE YANKEES LOST.

THE YANKEES LOST."

AFTER THAT INCIDENT,

CHICKEN STARTED:

DOING DRUGS AT ABOUT 12.

AND AT 15, HIS MOTHER

SENT HIM TO REHAB.

WHEN CHICKEN:

GOT OUT OF REHAB,

HIS MOTHER HAD MOVED

TO ARIZONA,

BUT SHE DIDN'T TELL HIM.

RECENTLY, ZANE AND CHICKEN

WERE TALKING ABOUT

MOVING TO ARIZONA

WHEN THEY GOT ENOUGH MONEY.

I EVEN LENT THEM $100.

I KNEW WHO KILLED

CHICKEN'S BROTHER,

BUT I NEVER TOLD HIM.

I GUESS YOU CAN SAY,

LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE

IN GRAVESEND,

I LOOKED THE OTHER WAY

AND FORGOT WHAT I SAW

AND WHAT I HEARD.

I'M GOING TO GO

OUTSIDE, TOO.

MAYBE SMOKE A JOINT

OR SOMETHING.

Zane:
