I woke up off Broadway. Not that Broadway. I made good on my farewell. She said she would call. I stumbled home in the morning light. Hailed the sun as a friendly face. The *** and ***** eked from my pores. Leaving their mark on my muddled mind. Like dirt in the puddle. Oh how wasted my life has been. I slept through the day. Awoke in the early evening glow. Refreshed and ready to take on the night again. She didn't call. She never called.
