Here

under the bridge

I don't have a camera

Was, waiting for lights to change, corner St Kilda Rd an Carlise St. An this car stopped right on the walking crossing in front of me. So I was standing, staring, waiting for the green light. An they was in my way, my view:

There was this girl in the backseat wanting a lighter an all the other girls was ignorin' her. They all looked stoned, but not happy stoned. Big faced sad stoned. I was thinking maybe I should put my hand in my pocket and hand over my lighter to the poor girl in the backseat. But I got the vibe they didn't want me talkin' to 'em.

An then. I was right 'cos the girl in the passenger seat looks at me an says,

"Take a photo mate, it'll last longer!"

I was shocked, you know, that saying went out years ago, plus she was in my way! What did she want me to do? Turn around, I was going forward not backwards. Anyways I looked back an said,

"I'm crossing the road! No offence or nothing you're just here!"

Then the lights changed an I had to walk around their car to cross the road. An it wasn't until now that I'm under the bridge that I realise what I should of said back:

"I don't have a camera, but I got a paper an pen."
