Empty roads in twilight falling
Twisting onward, houses without faces
A liquor store, cool moonlight
Florescent beer light
A thousand mayflies in June
Storms with clear skies
Couples slipping in and out of exit doors
Drunken stumbling, a doobie maybe
Cops with cigarettes by the non-smoking sign
Old friends from far away, stopping to chat
I wish I had a man.
And yet it perplexes me
The overwhelming nothingness of it all.
Chinese girls giggling corrupted by a single beer
And now she’s in a miniskirt,
She calls me darling in her sisterly way.
Stars speak of eternity,
A yellow hoodie replaces the orange one.
I have one now too.
Will she sleep with him tonight?
Shorter, sweeter, cuter than I.
Walking on the beach alone.
If only they knew how alone.
Swinging doors, fire alarms,
Lingering smell of ramen noodles,
Empty rooms, empty streets,
Empty curbsides, empty beds,
Empty nights.
Stumbling home after too many cigarettes
Trying to phase into sleep
After too many hours of watching
The nothingness. 
I don’t know where I am.
Am I in bed?
