yea; i finally found it and, yes, i do have a print rolled neatly in a tube for safekeeping. it's a reminder of the countless midnights i spent in similar places. if you look closely, you might just notice the shadow of someone remarkably like me. he's there, in a corner booth reading the manifesto of the communist party and chuckling quietly to himself or perhaps perusing the political news of the day and laughing out loud.




the nights don't get easier, they just get shorter.
