I got up
and I was naked
and the record player was still on
so I lifted the needle
and there was an empty bottle of tequila on my dresser
and my clothes were in a ball on the floor
and they were soaking wet
I thought how odd
I don't remember any of this
I checked my phone and there was a message
it was from area code 415
I don't know anyone from area code 415
I listened to the message
it was a woman's voice
she was telling me that she was sorry
that she missed my call and that she would call me real soon
I put clothes on and went outside into the courtyard
and my expensive road bike was at the bottom of the pool
so I dove in and rescued it
it was just a little wet
then I went back to my apartment
trying to figure out
what did this all mean
and then there was a knock on my door
I answered and it was two mexicans with a suitcase
senor
yes
we have what you're looking for
they pushed me aside and set the suitcase on my bed
I said I didn't know what they were
talking about
and one of them laughed and said something in spanish
"pinche gringo"
then they clicked the suitcase open
and I said
what the fuck is that
then the alarm went off
and I noticed it was 9 am
