"out the window."
"Remember when I did this?"
I said and climbed out the window
"I'm doing it again."
Everybody laughed
"He's doing it again."
I was standing
on the aluminum ledge
that was actually a camera store sign
outside
our friend's apartment window
on a beautiful September night
"Hello!"
I called to a couple walking down Broadway
the man was black
and the woman was white
they were both very fat
and they waved
jollily
"Hello!"
I said to the wobbly old drunk guy
in the plaid shirt
"Hello," I called again and waved
and the olden wobbly drunken guy looked up
and turned away and kept on walking
he knew I wasn't really there
"Hello!"
I waved to the Italian couple
and they looked up and the guy called back
"John MacEnroe, hey it's John MacEnroe"
and kept on walking
"Hello!"
I called to a black guy
slinking along the brick wall
in a long brown leather jacket
"Hello,"
I said again
and for a while there wasn't anybody to say
hello to
then I heard a woman shouting
"Roy! Roy he took your money!"
a black woman came running
down the street in a tight white dress
with her breasts falling out
screaming and pointing
and the guy in the leather jacket
came running from the other direction
with a big friend
and a tall black guy with a beard and a hat
came out from the other direction
saying,
"You're lying bitch, I didn't take nuthin'."
Pretty soon people were yellin'
and hittin'
and the cops came
including two squad cars
and a paddy wagon
and an undercover vehical
but no one wanted to press charges
so the cops left
and they yelled and hit a little more
and then everybody left
and I climbed in the window
when we got home
I walked around with my pee stained boxer shorts
pulled up to my chest
and pretended I was retrded
and my girlfriend said
"you're insane."
and that makes me happy
