Something happened to me a couple of days ago.. Sexually, I mean.. Had a fight with Cristina and stuff like that.. No wonder people say that no matter how often you take the wolf to a gym, it still looks out to the 'hood'.. cause there are women there.. OK, so I went to the 'hood'..
Got $100 from an ATM machine and by 10 PM went to the corner of Collins $ Exhibition St.. Cause that's where.. you know.. things happen! So anyway, I see some boys and girls standing there, and some other folks of weird sexuality.. So I'm walking by, nonchalantly, talking to nobody, not touching.. by hands I mean.. Stopped near some small group, pushed out my pockets so they look full and inviting, put a bored expression on my face.. Finally caught a fish - a small skinny girl in red baseball cap..
'Do you really want it?' - she asks.
How would I know if I want it or not? I want something, that's for sure.. Ok, I said, I have 100 bucks, let's go somewhere, see what happens when we get there.. So we're going toward the bars, looking up to the Milky Way.. The Red Baseball Cap's smoking grass, I'm singing 'Cocaine' on the tops of my lungs.. It was great till both our voices gave out.. Finally got somewhere.. Nice place, almost spotless.. the floor, the ceiling, the whole nine yards.. the bed in the corner and stuff.. Red Baseball Cap hung her cap on a hook and made us coffee.. I was so grateful, I had to touch her knee with my one hand, while waving 100 bucks by another.. All the time pointedly looking at the bed in a corner.. like you're supposed to.. But at the same time she's not looking at me like she's supposed to... She took my money, and pushed my hand away from her knee! What the Hell! I don't freaking get it! So I grabbed two soft things, that stuck out of her front upper body... She pushed my hands away and kicked me in my teeth, that little bitch! She thought she was funny.. are we in kindergarten or something?? I gave her something to remember.. and after that put the body on top of the bed.. I started to give her a friendly pat.. found some heroin, some pot and about $20.. That's freaking all!! Why couldn't she try and sell me this stuff on the corner, where we met?? So finally I HAD to have my dirty way with the Red Baseball Cap.. What I mean is I went out and didn't even wash my coffee mug...
So that's my story.. I'm in a gym today, pumping iron, giving an eye to pretty girls from yoga class.. Their instructor is a skinny girl in a red baseball cap.. I betcha another drug addict..
