Typically, “Missed Connections” on Craigslist are pedestrian affairs. Literally: “Sunday 22 around 3:30pm. We got off at union square and you were following me, then you went to whole foods.” And so on. But the New York Times turned up a handful of more colorful “Drunk Connections” this weekend, and helpfully chopped them into some reasonable found (if inebriated) poetry, including this gem:
To Jennifer the Chinese Girl Who Drank and Passed Out
Jennifer the Chinese girl
who passed out.
You met me
the tall european guy
and I invited you for a drink.
I bought the half pitcher of sangria
You downed those three drinks
and I told you
you were drinking too fast
and to sip them
O.M.G. you passed out in the bathroom
and the owners called an ambulance
I feel so bad…
I never got your number
and I want to know
that you are OK.
And also:
Drunk Irish Guy to the Girl in the Red Tights on the Subway to Queens
drunk irish guy
to the girl in the red tights
on the subway to queens
i really hope
I did not creep you out…
I was so drunk
and you were so hot…
I wish I could have met you
at a different moment
and a different place.
Don’t we all? The Beats would be proud.
