Then, all of a sudden, I started to cry. I couldn’t help it. I did it so nobody could hear me, but I did it. It scared the hell out of old Phoebe when I started doing it, and she came over and tried to make me stop, but once you get started, you just can’t stop on a goddam dime. I was still sitting on the edge of the bed when she did it, and she put her old arm around my neck, and I put my arm around her, too, but I still couldn’t stop for a long time.
