Rocco and Chickie Discuss the End
ROCCO
Chickie, the Brave! Went back to one of the wives!
CHICKIE
Brave? I don’t know. Lots of time brave,
lots of times cowardly. All jammed together
in the latest episode.
ROCCO
Is it over? Again?
CHICKIE
Emphatically!
ROCCO
Bad idea?
CHICKIE
Not at first.
ROCCO
Be all that domestic folderol as it may, you’re getting
up there, Chickie.
CHICKIE
Yeah, the Gathering Up’ll grab my ass up outside
Pat’s Steaks one of these ambiguous days.
ROCCO
Lifted in a vapor of onions.
CHICKIE
Like a bush league ghinny saint!
ROCCO
So what’s the final verdict? The existential question!
Did you shade more towards brave in life?
CHICKIE
Who the fuck knows. I’m busy dying then.
While other regions have quieted, South Philadelphia remains voluble.
