a stream of consciousness

warm head frozen hands
big letters on a wall in the dark
random people and accidental
eye contact
repeated
without cause

a gritty brown world

a quiet place to ruin my hearing

multiple stairways
some more right
than others

making the extra effort to
invade
someone's personal space

a warm black bar and a cold pint

the buzz before the snow falls

not in any sort of hurry
