I was at the bus station with J. We were on our way to Omaha to visit my family, and were waiting for a bus somewhere in the middle. There was along line in the lobby and a long wait. Luckily they had a movie theatre in the back. Some 70s movie like the kind they used to play on channel 9 when I was a kid was playing, and the room was filled with mostly black people. J was seated when I walked in the room. Because there wasn't a seat next to her, we got up and moved down the row. We were blocking some peoples view of the screen, and I pulled out a chair for here and then sat down…. Wait… There was puke all over her chair. Luckily she didn't sit down, I warned her in time, but I got puke all over my hands. I walked back out into the lobby. I went to the desk. The first guy I saw helped someone else, but another guy walked up and was like "can I help you?" I explained the situation saying, that it was a human trap, because it looked like a chair, but there was puke in, it, but the natural human exaction was to sit down in the puke. I was very angry. He calmly took me to the rest room, where I washed my hands. As I washed my hands I began to feel better. I actually started singing to my self, and wondering how we were going to make it to Omaha. Where would we eat when we got there. Was there a coop? I realized we had a car, and so could drive down our selves. The bus station employee had been patiently waiting for me the whole time I had been washing my hands, again and again. I finally felt clean and I told him thanks. He then grabbed some clueing products from the back of the men's rest room and headed out to clean up the puke. I went back into the theatre. J had found a seat in the bak row, and was scrunched in sideways, trying to get comfy so she could rest even sleep.
Earlier I had gone to her house. We had separated, and I had gone to see the kids, though I still loved her. I was afraid she had a new man in her life. When I got there the kids were running around. I love them but I wanted to see her. I went to the back bath room, and she came out. She didn't have a new boyfriend, at least that I could see. I was relieved and wanted so much to get back together. We talked.
