Last night I spent the whole night
drenched in a cloud of tobacco
thinking of how many people
are so bitchy and useless –
I was reading my book Nudes
that I bought at Borders
and prophesized my dreams and
fell asleep to the gurgling buzz
of a broken beer can leaking outside –
and then just for the hell of it I smiled.
