at one am, this, for some reason

[shishi]

this one time we were standing in a cold doorway in northampton with our hands in our pockets, trying not to die, while we waited for a friend of ours, & this dude came up to us & did the whole yo new pals, either of you got a light thing, and m immediately & unexpectedly dug in his pocket & produced a lighter, lit the guy's cigarette, & talked to him for at least fifteen minutes in the cold
when the guy finally walked off i said, i didn't know you smoke
and m said
i don't.

he kept a lighter on him strictly for conversation purposes.
