I visited an old friend the other night. Sadly
it wasn’t Nicole, but it was however the homeless man on the corner of Boylston
and Tremont.
I couldn’t resist, I
was coming off the T from going out to grab some Chinese takeout when I heard
it again, the tired soul, singing, crooning, and strumming his guitar. This
time, he was playing a classic,
“Whatll you do
when you get lonely
And nobodys
waiting by your side?
You’ve been
running and hiding much too long
You know its
just your foolish pride” he swooned
The chance was too
perfect, and for some reason I couldn’t help it.
“LAYYYYLA!
You’ve got me on my
knees,
Layla,
Im begging, Darlin
please,
Layla,
Darling won’t you ease
my troubled mind?”
I sat on that corner
all night and sang, we ate my Chinese food together when we were hungry, and I
went and got a bottle of JD for the night, I also learned my friends name is
Jeremiah. We made a killing off passerbys that night, many folks stopped to
listen and tap their feet. It was my new studio, and it felt really fucking
good too, really good to be back.
