Drunkenness 1

Drunkenness and the street lights

spots on the walls dim lights wavering up the stairs. Several napkins crumpled

smeared with Chinese port sauce but that was earlier

along the gutter sickly yellow-green ailanthus leaves fallen. Lovely those people who make no demands not friend nor family after all I never bicycled through France in my late twenties so never knew that sweet anticipation of a life to come.
