The best part is 

He might have been a drunk

Living in rooms with 

The bathroom down the hall 

Or the same apartment for thirty years

And a litany of women in and out

And wrote stories about throwing up in the bushes

Or raping women in elevators 

Or dripping bags of spent beer cans

Or opening food cans on a train

Without a can opener

Or working hungover for hours

And hating that son of a bitch

But the best part is

In real life

His daughter loved him

She said he made her feel safe and loved

And the pictures of them together

Happy and having fun

And obviously loving each other

Well that's the real deal
