The game was fine. We smiled and even cracked some jokes. The music was dull, but we didn’t mind. We couldn’t care less, as long as we had each other’s wallet. The artist was being tortured in the book and there was nothing in our head and heart that could save us from falling off. What a bunch of nonsense you poured in our glasses, as the wine left them to enter our mouths, throats and bellies. By the end of the show I was drunk and sad, without any direction, without a meaning, a purpose, a goal or whatever fancy word you’d to use to describe my numb life.
The mind game was fine, until you lost your game and I lost my mind.
