Unknown Joey at The Troubadour

... ... ...    
 
Seated by myself at the counter  
The Troubadour Club ... Coca Cola, Coke, soda ...    
West Hollywood looked like a postcard  
John Legend and The Roots singing...    
*So dark when I see sparks, if we don't snuff 'em out*  
   
My mind clapped out  verses of a new song...    
As music ejaculated unknown people  
A voice said :*Hello, man...  How have you been doing?...    
I'm Joey... What have you been up to?... *  
   
And I answered: *Nothing much...    
I've been trying to recognize you...    
Since you started talking to me...    
You took me for someone else...*  
   
Then Joey said:...    
*Sorry, I mistakenly thought...    
I mistakenly believed you were someone else...  
I took you for one of my neighbors ... *  
   
That must have been...  
Something akin  to this...    
Something unexplainable...
Something alienated like me
Imaginable...  Conceivable
