you're the jive guru when i wanna sing along with you

there was an earthquake tonight. i was standing on the train platform at belmont waiting for the brown line and enjoying the last of the daylight all wrapped up in a scarf. i just picked up the keys to my new apartment and ran smack into josh, who i hadn't seen in three months. he is ashleys friend, the catalyst to the event that left me still drunk at 8:30 am, calling in sick to work the day before my three-day-new-years-eve-holiday-weekend. it started with police sirens. a purple line train was just pulling away and the platform rumbled. and the rumblings got worse and worse as the train got farther and farther away. everyone started crouching down, trying to stay balanced while realizing that we were all suspended thirty feet in the air. i laid down on my stomach, the two people beside me started kissing. the platform rocked and i saw a crevasse opening up down the street, right in front of the L & L.

then i snapped out of it as my train arrived.
