On a night as dark
As the blackest of seas
At an ungodly hour
When the whole world sleeps
I lie awake all alone in bed
My restless mind counting seconds to first light
Finally unable to sleep I don my coat
And emerge onto the dimly lit street
But surprised I am to spot a figure
Not far from where I be
I say to myself “after all I’m not alone”
“There are bound to be others as restless as me”
I start walking towards the lonely figure
Hoping my plight the stranger may understand
Close enough, I realize it’s a woman
She sees me and whispers “20$ for a one night stand”
