There was a girl, you know her, she wore combat boots and dresses with a leather motorcycle jacket. She had bangles and charms and black, black hair. She was the unapproachable one down the hall, never smiled (at you), sometimes she spoke french just…cuz. You just knew that she had answers you didn’t. And you went out on one “date” but it was really an east village record store crawl. She never spoke to you again but, once, when you were sick, she offered, through your roommate, to bring you soup. You turned her down. And 30 years later you wonder whatever happened to her, since she’s not on Facebook. Or she is but you have no reason to friend her without seeming creepy.

She had this record. I guarantee it.
