sometimes a pick up

looks across the bar

vague acquaintance party

you have hope in plenty

despite the rare returns

the ones who steal your wallet booze

food car keys music &books

or piss the bed & run

bloody sheets you find next night dry

the hope stays high

then you see one all blonde & beauty

easy to talk to be with

you buy couple of rounds

suggest heading to yours

sure she says but first stop

buy some vodka cokes & cigarettes?

so you do happy to do so

head into yours sit & talk

tall glasses vodka & coke

cigarettes in the night heat

conversation turns to the next day

work times i can stay over she says

but i need to be gone by seven

letting you know the thing

is going to happen between you

but first lets us drink some more

is when you know the important thing here

is sitting in the glass
