I dreamed of you in the taxi
I paid my dollars to be there

A barren shack
In a barren place
Chickens outside our room

Making a fool of myself
But not knowing the rules
Would I ever see you again

But

Life isn't like that

Love for twelve hours
In a dirty rotting shack

I like to think you enjoyed yourself
I was too eager to care

And the state of my chest
That morning
Took away all of my cares

Even after thirty years
I still remember you
And maybe an appreciation

That life isn't just a screw.

"I like to think you enjoyed yourself

I thought you were going to say to me you had posted this before.

I just wish I had the for-runner to this
