Since
I
missed
the
bus
from
campus
,
twice
this
evening
,
I
decided
to
walk
.
Someone
was
walking
behind
me
.
I
slowed
down
,
to
see
if
they
were
going
my
way
.
She
said
she
was
.
The
roads
were
icey.
It
was
fun
trying
not
to
slip
.
Slipping
and
trying
not
to
fall
.
Falling
,
and
trying
not
to
fall
into
the
street
and
be
run
over
.
She
was
walking
behind
me
,
and
I
slowed
down
so
she
can
catch
up
,
but
she
continued
to
stay
about
a
foot
behind
.
So
I
slowed
down
some
more
and
she
wouldn't
walk
next
to
me
.
I
finally
decided
that
she
must
not
be
a
very
friendly
person
,
and
I
stopped
worrying
about
it
.
I
decided
to
pretend
that
I
was
a
very
important
person
,
and
she
was
walking
behind
me
,
acting
as
my
bodyguard.

I'm
glad
you
think
so
.
I
think
it
expresses
what
is
a
little
unique
about
me
.

...
unhinged
damnit
the
glass
of
vodka
on
the
corner
of
the
stage
the
way
you
nodded
your
head
quick
short
trite
and
they
both
looked
over
at
me
from
time
to
time
i
wanted
to
talk
to
you
afterwards
but
you
seemed
rather
shaky
and
unstable
and
i
tried
to
make
a
smooth
move
for
my
coke
...
"
i
don't
want
to
hear
from
you
'
who's
this
and
who's
that'"
uh
oh
kelly
and
i
wanted
to
walk
up
to
you
and
wrap
my
arm
around
you
and
look
the
bitch
right
in
the
eye
and
say
:
"
come
on
baby
.
let's
go
home
."
i
watched
you
try
to
get
away
from
her
the
way
she
tugged
on
your
elbow
the
pain
on
your
face
we
all
want
to
kill
her
i
guess
that's
why
you
go
after
the
young
ones
now
thinking
maybe
they
won't
be
quite
so
good
at
the
game

blather
