it's something


i saw a man on the street today who made me sad.


he was a derelict with a bottle shouting to the world: "i haven't been laid in 8 years and i don't care. ... what the hell is sex anyway? just a moment of pleasure and a lifetime of remembering and regret..."


then he took a drink from his bottle and went on.


he wasn't all that old. in fact not much older than me.


"is that how i'm going to wind up?"  i asked myself. "did i see my future today?"


... it's something to think about now that alma is gone.
