After the Meeting

After the Meeting (resentment) 

 

 

At the AA meeting, my dog, I had taken her with me as support. 

looked around and went over to a tall, elegant man with a wave 

of white hair and refined air (I’ve none) and sat there looking up 

to him adorningly. On the way home I told her to sit in the back, 

this confused her as she usually curls up on the seat beside me. 

There was an awkward silence; her ears were up, knew something 

was wrong: “So you think I’m bald; let me tell you this; that man 

is a doctor and kill people when he’s drunk and perform heart 

surgery ” Not addressing the dog directly, but I said no more as 

I sounded ridiculous. Back home I drank vodka, with cola light 

and ice, the dog had to sleep in outside, on the terrace.
