Nights Like These

It's nights like these
that I"m in the mood to get high and
watch a certain film.

I'd done it once before.

It was the first time I saw
the thing.
She told me I HAD to see it!

Well she was right about its caliber.

But I wasn't right about hers.

She ran off with an actor
to Venice or the Amalfi Coast
or wherever it is that
actors abscond to.

I can't say that I blame her
I was as nice to her as I was
to the redhaired kid I used to punch out
at the bus stop everyday
after school.



...I never hit her or anything
don't go thinking that,
but I wasn't very nice all the same.

Still...

I mean she could have at least sent
a postcard from the coast
telling me it was over.

I am sure they make a greeting card for that nowadays.


You know what?

I think I will go ahead and watch that film.

After all she was right about its caliber.
