the Argyle/Sheridan spectacle

by Antwan Fields - Aries

last night it was freezing cold 
i was miserable
he said he'd be right down
i shivered

20 minutes passed
i went for a walk
to the train station
collar up, i stalked

20 more minutes
i began to question my sanity
it was laid bare to me
my inanity

around rolled the 60 minute mark
and i sat down hard
freezing cold in the doorway
missing my library card

it seems i said to myself
i'm gonna try it once more
before i freeze all my blood
and fall to the floor

and it would go so far
i counted to ten
i knew it would all come back to me
in the end

i turned and walked away
looked back once or twice
said this is what i get 
for being so nice

because it occured to me
i might be single forever
because for others i might be
just a little too clever.
