i saw a fight at a chevron today.

an older mexican gentleman wearing black slacks, a white shirt, and suspenders kicked a cup in the parking lot in the general direction of a younger mexican gentleman. i think this angered the younger man. they stumbled around sort of shoving each other for a while until the older man put up his dukes. i believe the were both rather drunk because they fought real slow. they fell over after a few moments of punching real slow. the younger man seemed to best the older man in strength/agility and ended up on top. sort of. he punched the older man a few times. real slow. i think the sluggish pace of the fight faked out a bunch of bystanders. i don't think they were quite sure it was a fight, and it took them a while to decide if they needed to break it up. finally a group of dudes on crotch rockets took the initiative and separated the men. then i drove a way. as i left the parking lot, i got a glimpse of the emotion that held their faces captive. it was a little like this:
