Failed Experiment n

I locked myself out of my apart­ment last night for sev­er­al hours and then had an night filled with wak­ings and half-sleep­ings and nois­es that made me think the neigh­bors were get­ting raid­ed and stan­dard 3am dry-throat-get-a-drink activ­i­ty that was­n’t stan­dard because some­one was qui­et­ly argu­ing with some­one else about leav­ing some­place. Some of that is real and some of that is dream, I think.
