Set Up Like A Deck Of Cards

Still got it…

Walking away from a concert tonight, I stopped and sat on a wall for a few minutes to have a breather and kill some time before I had to catch the bus. It was busy, with other people sitting on the wall and loads of people walking past in both directions.

As I’m sitting there, just watching all the people walk past, I notice someone walking towards me, so I look up. It’s an attractive woman in her mid-20s, and she walks straight towards me and then jumps up and sits right next to me on the wall.

She starts chatting to me, asking if I’m having a good night, how the weekend is going, what I’ve been up to, and I’m thinking, ‘yep, I’ve still got it,’ and, ‘I might be in here.’

Then she mentions that she works for Samaritans, and I look up and realise that I’m sitting opposite a Samaritans flag, then I look down and see she’s wearing a Samaritans badge.

Then I realise that I have still got it, only ‘it’ is apparently an involuntary look of loneliness and depression.
