"Ooh, nearly got a smile" said the Danish nurse in my old man's boozer. I told her to fuck off, not knowing it was her birthday. That was in England (before hysterical irony and text messages) so she started crying. Another time, a couple dizzy on life rolled into the car park to take a look at an old Volvo I was trying to sell. "Cheer up!" the guy said, "you look like you have been to a funeral". "I have" I answered (which was true). With half a heart I begged them to stay, but they were away in a kind of spastic hurry.
All of them were middle aged and I was young.
Now, I am middle aged and you are young
, so "fucking cheer up!"
