James Kelman, “How late it was, how late”
Complicated persons

A guy once telt Sammy about complications; he asked him about whether he had a girlfriend or no. Sammy had been married at the time. It was just after he had landed inside that last time. He hadnay wanted to speak to the guy so he telt him it was too complicated, he didnay want to talk about it. And the guy said, Listen pal ye come inside ye’re a complicated person, when ye go out ye’re still a complicated person but the complications are different. All yer other complications go away. People forget about ye; the goodies I’m talking about, the only ones remember ye are the fucking baddies; they still want to fuck ye.
