Don't assume I want to talk to to you

Ode to the drunk guy on the subway:

I'm very sorry you had to work construction today, the coldest day of this very warm new year.

However, that does not mean I want to talk to you.

Yes, we have a lot of things in common.

We both ride baltimore's most pathetic attempt at public transportation.

However, that does not mean I want to talk to you.

We share the same glass-eyed, glazed-over expression in our eyes; Yours from the 2 almost-empty bottles of booze in your outer pockets; mine from numbness.

However, that does not mean I want to talk to you.

Just leave me to my hypothermia, I kind of like the coldness in the air. it sort of matches the recent chill in my heart.

Hey, maybe i will have a swig off that bottle.

Thanks, man.
