very late night thoughts

As I lit my 1 AM cigarette, I stared out into the city and just had the feeling that the night was filled with possibilities. For a second there, I had the urge to put on my coat and just wonder off into the night. From time to time I do go out for late night walks, and for some strange reason I find comfort and even exitement in the city's issolation. If there are no cars driving by, I favor the middle of the street, over the sidewalk. I find its such a liberating experience. I feel as if the city were mine, including the street, just for that brief moment.
