09/13/2018 – Somewhere outside of my mind
The music is playing; from out of some fools’ cars –
All the bitches,
All the whores,
They know me by my first name.
Wandering down the street; tired but too early for bed.
It’s a busy night for being a Thursday; people sit on sidewalk tables; drinking their wine, trying to flirt with first dates; last date from the look on the one girl’s face.
“Last time I’ll let Charlotte set me up with someone!” I hear her muttering under her breath, her date lost in his cell phone, who knows why.
I smile at her, she smiles back, by the time I come back from my adventure in getting a diet coke from the convenience store; they’ve gone, split in different directions according to the waitress who was cleaning the table.
“Damn shame!” I say smiling; the waitress returns a smile and nods.
Great night to be alive;
The sky is clear; slight humidity raising the temperatures up, enough to pretend I’ve exercised, a bead of sweet forming on my forehead.
I make it up the stairs to my front door.
A true wonderful night to be alive and well.
