depressed .. I followed her home

met artie and their son chase

they were both very happy

when they saw venecia 

we sat .. drank a few beers

artie thought i'm viola's guy

everything was pretty cool

he invited me to the danky basement

first impression .. jungle out of control

marijuana was growing wall to wall

upon a closer inspection

I saw his plants were too close

all of it was male marijuana

you couldn't get stoned on it

I told him .. it pissed him off

he wasn't mad at me .. only himself

he had the halogen lights going

shiny aluminum foil lined the room

growing lots of marijuana was no problem

he didn't have the knowledge to space apart

plant by plant .. leaf by leaf

I showed him tiny white pill balls

growing under many of the leaves

explained to him the plants had sex

end result .. all plants are now male

no potency .. none of it worth a dime

he helped pluck the tiny white pill balls

trimmed many leaves off the plants

tried to salvage what was possible

I couldn't make any wild promises

he said thanks a lot .. we went back upstairs

venecia had prepared an awesome dinner

we ate until we were all over full .. our stomachs hurt

talked for a little while longer .. drank our last beers

venecia arranged the couch for me to stay over night
