sad sad lies and strangers

"All i want is something meaningless,"
I heard the young handsome guy
in the Levi's denim jacket smirk
as he walked in the frigid morning air
down the old cobblestone street.

His older friend with the baldhead
and the bouncing jowls
laughed, "Yeah man,"
and I thought about jumping in
but there was no point,
"I hear ya... Chicks man.

Chicks."

I thought for a minute about her
and the way she smiled at my bad jokes
until I got to the big maple door
and stepped in out of the cold
like always.
