"You were the sexiest dancer there tonight,"
She yells across the room,
"When you move your body, it looks so right,"
Her flirting voice, a boom.

I thank her and my heeled feet swing
to silence the giggles of friends,
who sit across from me,winking,
still dressed to entice and offend.

"Darkschoir blows my mind,"
Deb sighs, reliving the DJ's beats.
"Can you believe what he does with time?"
It's four am, at least.

The hour is clear in my body's mind,
my feet and muscles are sore.
My head throbs in the country-western whine,
The price of being hardcore.

"This place can't compare to Denny's,"
Ryan's disgusted with his food.
"And I refuse to leave her a penny,"
We consent; the waitress was rude.

After limping through the parking lot,
To shiver in the car,
We each lament, in private thoughts
That home must be so far.

Just for the record, I really don't think this piece is any good, and it will probably be deleted soon. Go read something else.

The place to hang here after a night of hardcoring it is Denny’s. I believe it is uncool to go to waffle House or something. *shrug* I don’t understand some of those people…mostly cause most of them are so fake that they don’t need the heavy makeup.

You ever run across that table of 16 year olds that are sitting in Denny’s at 2 AM trying to talk about philosophy? Those are the funniest ones. Somewhere I suppose they heard that the cool people talk in big words and they don’t understand.

I wasn't reaching for anything deep. I sat in this last night and couldn't get over how absurdly commonplace the whole scene was. Just wanted to present it.

It bothers me when I'm charged for sausage I asked for three times and never got, especially when the mohawked kid in the booth behind me is carrying on about the great deal he just scored on free sausage.
