I was at the party
the kind of place
you have to be then and there
In the middle of the party
you were there too
on a couch watching TV outside in the thick of it all
The next afternoon
I spent with the lads
bumming cigarettes off each other front of the corporate plaza
The gates were to close
when all the offices shut for the weekend
and none of us fancied staying there for that long
5pm happens
and I get caught up in dispersion
I find myself in a group and you were there too
we carry a bed frame
to a train station
and wait with all the business men as it gets dark
In the gloom a train arrives
we have to hold the bed frame in between carriages
because it wont fit otherwise
The train travels across a bridge
and on the other side it slowly halts
we and the bed frame disembark in vacant surroundings
the only thing immediate is an adjacent train line
and on it waits a handcart
the bed frame is loaded on and pushed along the line into the bush
The next morning I wake
on a couch
at the hut we were headed
I am confused
I don't remember getting here
I get up and look around
the first room on the right
has its space almost entirely consumed
by a massive bed and you are there too
I lie down
sore from the couch
and you explain to me this is where we were headed
I know that
but I still don't recall
I'm not bothered though because at least now I have a bed
