Milk" - I'm waiting, I'm waiting, For you.
Last night I saw "About Schmidt" with Mark at the AMC Centruy Plaza. The movie let out about 1am so dancing didn't really happen. Passing Mickey's, RAGE & settling in The Abbey, it was both pleasing to be single and unsettling. I can still look in their eyes and see the searching; like lighthouses our eyes guide toward each other, but I see the rocky shores and their boats move blindly. Or perhaps I am the rocky shore that they have to hit to understand the purpose of the lighthouse at all.
We left rather quickly. I drove Mark home and waited until I could see he was in his apartment before leaving. I thought as I did this. I have always waited for my friends to get into their livign spaces before pulling away.
Home was my empty bed. An empty bed in a room full of noise. Too much for Randy trying to sleep. I slept seven hours straight through without remembering any dreams.
