A Tuesday Night Reprieve


Why not? It's Tuesday night.
Shoes off at door.
"It's a monsoon out there."
Hole in sock.
Wine with synthetic cork.
"I want to stay in Norway."
"I want to stay in Portugal."
Blue paint.
"These Doritos taste GOOD!"
"I live at the library."
Thesis chatter.
"Is it physically possible for a man to have sex in a Finnish sauna?"
More wine.
"What is hallway sex?"
Laughter.
"I will extend my thesis deadline."
"When will you propose to her?"
Clock strikes 11 p.m.
Time to catch the train.
Umbrella.

I can tell that this is "wine talk". Hopefully you are better off with such an intelligent conversation. Hangovers are a real bummer.
