5/11/19 (Definitely a blog post)

Today at yard I was waiting for the phone with Zyprexa Psycho and…well, this was the yard. There’s a horseshoe tossing area right by the phone bank. Whoever decided to do that…there’s a whole yard and they built the horseshoes right by the phone bank. So there’s a gang of motherfuckers all waiting for the phone, and a fucking horseshoe goes sailing right into the crowd. Like, this was more than bad aim. The horseshoe came down into the line right next to me where a Mexican guy catches it — It was headed straight for his head. This was not, I am convinced, an intentional attack. The kid who threw it was pretty young and my general impression of him has been that he is, in the parlance of our times, “smoked out”. He laughed and wisely ceased to hurl heavy metal objects in the vicinity of a crowd of felons.
