Midnight
LA
My blood mixed
With chardonnay
The Playwright
Inside the bar
Was too broke
For a rental car
I don't know
Where I am going
I'm just going
Moment to moment
She's ghost white
Wears a fedora
Italian girlfriend
Did adore her
A delight
Where openness leads
Emptiness never
Seems to suit my needs
I don't know
Where I am going
I'm just going
Moment to moment
The appetite
To taste a body
We're tourists with
Isolated hobbies
Sentient satellites
On momentary drift
I'm scared too
I feel helpless
I don't know
Where I am going
I'm just going
Moment to moment
She loved Jesse James
And writers I never heard of
Picked this hotel because
It was where the Dahlia was murdered
She loved my smile
When she said such things
Damn
You really don't know
What the next day brings
