WAY HOME 19/07/2000

A strange girl from Stuttgart offered me a room to stay in; I'm waiting for the night bus after a dire party. I have to wait again, but at least I lost the conversation. No cigarettes left. The bus comes; I get on and get off again. I'd rather walk. It wasn't the one I wanted. The rain starts and stops. Why do I feel upset when I speak to her? I rang the wrong girl.
