Skin Deep – September 2019

SKIN DEEP MAGAZINE • 5

I

t doesn’t happen everyday, but perhaps

it happens more than I’d like it to. Or

maybe even, not as often as I’d like it to.

There I was strolling at a snails pace

through Soho, marvelling at how much the

place changes from month to month right

now, never mind year to year, when out of

the corner of my eye, I see a guy barrelling

his way up the street with something in his

sights that happened to be me.

“Hey brother! You’re my man... I know

you’re my man!”

“Maybe...”

I kind of knew where this was going before

SATURDAY NIGHT

& SUNDAY MORNING

it even happened.

“I’ve got two bags of Charlie left straight

from Peru. They got your name all over both

of ‘em at a good price, then I can go home.”

“Ah man... I can’t.”

“Given it up?”

“Took all my money and friends! It had to

go buddy.”

BACK IN THE DAY, IT WOULDN’T

HAVE STOOD A CHANCE AT BEING

TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY LOOKING SO

CLEAN AND PROFESSIONAL.

The Dirt Will Find You
