it was dark
i was lost
i was despised
and i had lost my briefcase
when my brother and his stuckup friends showed up i left the hotel room
and went down to the news stand to find the latest best seller
but they didn’t have it in stock
i bought a pack of gum instead
when i left the news stand most of the lights in the city had gone out
there were a few lights n the distance
but i did not think they were the hotel’s
i started walking
i realized i did not have my briefcase
did i leave it at the news stand?
did i leave it at the hotel?
i got loster and loster
i thought of how awful my whole life had been
and how everybody laughed at me and despised me
and barely tolerated my existence
and what a failure i was
it got darker and darker
finally i ended up at a police station
i was told to take a seat on a bench against the wall
when i tried to ask sone questions
the young woman at the desk told me in no uncertain terms to be quiet
finally she summoned me over
tapping on her keyboard she asked wearily
all right, what exactly was in this wonderful briefcase?
