A Conversation between Noah and Sergio—I joined in later.

Monologues of A Schizophrenic
-Sergio paces back and forth in his room;
he’s upset because his day was ruined
after his lazy ass boss decided not to
show up at the job sight at the time he
said to meet him there. Sergio waited an
hour, after several attempts to call him,
no answer or text back; he drove back
home. Sergio is on the phone with him
now; the boss is telling him to go back to
the job site; he woke up late!
-Sergio:
“Fuck that fool! I won’t be putting
up with this shit!!” “I need to be
my own fucken boss already!”
DAMMIT!!
-Noah:
“Man, you have been saying that for
a long minute now, get with it!
Handle it already!”
-Sergio:
“That’s the plan when I return, if I
return from El Salvador. I’m tired
of working for punk ass haters.”
They see my skills, I shut em’
down, and what gets to them, I
don’t pop my collars but collect
dollars.”
-Noah:
“For sure Serge, you’ll get your
business L’s, you know you will.”
The thing you do well is you’re a
persistent fucker and optimist too.
You been here before and when you
least expects it opportunity comes
knockin” “Don’t sweat it brother!”
-Sergio:
“Thank you brother! I don’t know
what I’ll do without you!”
-Me:
“What about me brother, you know yo’
twin. We like peanut butter and jelly…
you’re the right nut, I’m the left…you
are my sunshine.”
-(I start laughing out loud)
-Noah:
“This guey, shut the flute up cabron.”
-Sergio to Me:
“Hey you and me will never
grow apart, together hasta la
muerte carnal. Pero tu sabes,
Noah has been our childhood
friend, always there for us
with his kind words. Siempre
nos da la mano con sus consejos.
I don’t think there is a better
counselor than you Noah,
gracias.”
- Noah shed a few tears of warmth, feeling
welcomed and loved; he walks towards the
mirror and wipes his tears, saying, “Thank you
brothers.” Sergio’s face and mine reflect in the
mirror, simultaneously telling Noah, “No biggie,
we love ya’ brother!”
-!Noah, Sergio, and I walked out of the room together
with a smile on our face!
