One Night in Chicago.

by Twan - Aries

You've seen it before, a million times
Man walks out of his club and drops two dimes
And it's picked up by a rather attractive male
Who smiles blandly and moves off, and you feel you've failed.
Resentful and disgusted, you walk south toward your car
But you're drunker than hell, and most are drunker than you are
And it becomes a harangue about how "NO ONE LOVES ME"
I might as well be unwelcome, chased up a tree
What light through yonder window breaks?
Said Willie, but he didn't figure they'd all be fake
And you've seen the light, but it turns into dark
You get the idea that you know where you've parked
A male bumps into you, but you pay him no mind
It was preordained, that's the one you'd find
But you're fucking fucked, you look for old tricks
but they care less about you than they do about their dicks
Memory is changing, you don't know what's going down
A smile met with a laugh, a sneer with a frown
Stumbling away from this, you try your best to think
But it's unconnected, to your brain there's no link
And then you wake up, you're in your car
And then it comes to you, you're parked in front of the bar!
And you start the engine, and drive away from the 'hood
a lot later than you usually do, and much more than you should
What time should you come out, tomorrow night?
And this time the ritual, will finally be done right.

Reason for writing:

    Except for the car part, I've done each of these.
