7o2

listening to Natalie Merchant sing "one fine day" over and over"
my eyes are rotting out of my head
my thoughts are all on Los Angeles
a 24 hour place named the Kettle in Manhattan Beach
a cup of soup
a large ice t
bagel with cream cheese
and a pile of familiar faces
in and out all night

in the next few weeks i've got to decide
Las Vegas for 4 more years
or
the city of Angeles

i love the way Natalie carries you along on a soft road of a story
like you are drifting through the song as she sings it
with a blanket to snuggle
a warm drink
and a sweet breeze

not even a smidge of work clutters my brain
or the phone company
or the power company
or any of the other swine that suck the Average Joe
down

i need a drink
