PRICE LE$$






I got on the train tonight about 8:10 PM. In his RDS uniform, he proceeds to ask me if I'm a cop and opens a cheap cigar. He carefully slices down one side with the corner of his metro card. Then, empties the tobacco onto the floor and carefully selects his leaf. He opens his courier bag, pulls out a whole bud, and begins to roll a fat joint.

What's going on? What's happening?

I had been drinking at a friend's birthday party. Vodka rocks. Wasted I begin my journey home. I meet two girls from the party--one of which is said friend's coworker--at 6th avenue and we take a cab to Union Square. Sigh. Oh shit I fell asleep on the train again. I'm alone on the car. I'm laying across the seats with my feet propped up. I sit up. It is snowing outside. I'm not in Manhattan. Lots of snow. Blowing. Okay and we're not moving. Where am I? I see a sign for Coney Island. I'm in the rail yard. Lovely. Good thing I have my flask with me.
