a drunken night in budapest...

the night is still young and i still sober though i dont mean to suggest it is always this way…

usually the night is older than a grandpa and quite as deaf though those are the nights i find myself stumbling home at some obscene hour singing NEW YORK NEW YORK and not remembering how it ended and therefore having to keep singing it over and over in that "im so drunk i sing like sinatra" deafening wrist cutting razor sound

i would then proceed, obviously having not made it any further than the next bar, to tell the bar tender, in a rather drunken state himself, how sexy i would be if i had a cigarette holder like audrey hepburn and he’d say in reply that i was sexy already and id inform him that that was the best way to lose customers so he’d bite the end of his pen... ok both ends... and supply me with rollies faster than i could smoke them... and no... i am not a smoker in sobriety but when im audrey... well...

The night is still young and I still sober

I think it's a great start to an even potentially better story telling. You've left me wanting to know more about our bar hopper and even more about how she found herself in Budapest.

I sense a new style in this short cameo of a story. I'd love to see you rolling from one side of the pavement to another, singing New York, New York in a raucous voice. Blessings. You've made my day. Victor

i love the vignette, the sultry film noir/classic feel of this; only you could construct something this seemingly easy... the stop.still imagery is so unique here. ..a debutante swinging from lightposts, a gypsy curled in the corner of the world. ..
you are a phantasmagoric thing~
sublime even~
