had to take the long way home friday night.
took a walk down and around.
out by the steelyard, all the way over to the_projects, maybe another ten minutes walk from the ballpark and then started back down toward Memorial Hospital to take the street back along the long way home
just before the freeway, the road flares and the traffic detours giving every indication that something bad went down near the place where i had my little bar_fight episode
being barely later than nine-thirty, it was too early on a friday evening for the typical drunken pendejismo, at least that would be my assumption
pondering little more than the inconvenience of the forced detour, i looped around until i got to the next place i could cross over the freeway
and in the news more stuff blown to hell, more foreign policy disasters in the offing, no encouraging signs except for the warming detente between my two four-legged roommates
good argument against the notion of god in all of the minutiae, any self-respecting all-powerful deity would have called it quits on this fucked up little petrie dish we call existence and maybe had the stones to admit that he pooched the whole experiment somewhere in the early going
armchair astronomy buff, i didn't get to see mars for all the incessant fucking cloud cover that just floated overhead and teased the city like it always does with lightning_kisses and the usual incitements only to leave the usual dry frustration in its wake come morning and the news reports of how someplace else got flooded
pack of cigarettes, Camel, no filter, light, drag, exhale
watch the flashing lights on the underbellies of the planes overhead, lighting up the yard almost dangerously close
go in, shut down, go to sleep
