“Plastic Cup”

He holds the plastic cup in his hand. He lifts it to his mouth and takes a sip of lager. He holds a pen in his other hand. He puts the ink tip to the notebook and starts writing words on the pages. He pauses. He looks up. He looks out the window. He sees people standing around. He wonders if the band started playing. He puts the pen down and walks to the window. He looks toward the stage, and the band has started playing. He curses himself for buying a beer outside the performance area and not inside. He picks up the plastic cup again and takes a bigger sip. He must finish so he can go outside and watch the band. He takes more sips. He writes furiously, hoping to put all his thoughts on paper. He drinks. He scribbles. He will be drunk soon at this rate. He will drink more and he will regret it. He will write more. He drinks. He scribbles. He finishes his drink. He stops writing.
