the dark streets of decay 7


it is way past midnight

it is dark

it is cold

it is quiet

 

i don’t even know why i’m still walking around

i’m in good spirits

nothing is bringing me down

and i’ve lost count of how many beers

          i’ve made my own tonight

 

i can’t remember the last time i ate

yesterday? the day before that? has it been longer?

but it’s only been minutes since my last cigarette and beer

 

everything’s closed

and the passengers in passing cars look like demons

that have danced with the dead

and are now heading home to the furnace

 

and i’m just walking

trying to remember the words to a song i want to sing

but i am having a hard time remembering anything right now

 

at some bar i listened to some poor soul speak

about things his therapist said were chic

i wanted to tell him to just be himself

and fuck everyone else

but i just bought him another drink

 

wow

there’s a taco bell across the street that’s open 24 hours

i just found the meaning to life

which is amazing since i can’t seem to find my way home

meander and roam will by my autobiography

but right now i just want a fucking taco

or two
