The Girl with No Underwear
August 6th, 2000"Ohmigosh! Mike, I don't think she's wearing any underwear!" Jen whispered.
And this statement had nothing to do with the fact that I was dancing with her later that evening.
"Ohmigosh! Mike, I don't think she's wearing any underwear!" Jen whispered.
And this statement had nothing to do with the fact that I was dancing with her later that evening.
"So why do you think she left without telling any of us?" I asked my friend.
"I think she was afraid of our reaction," she replied.
I can still taste my first kiss.
She had been chewing gum. Trident. It's her favorite.
We met each other through a mutual friend. I saw her a few more times after that, in my dorm. We'd sit in the hallway, procrastinating and playing cards 'till dawn.
Oh look, there's a dog with a sweater on!
And a man with a gold ring in his nose.
That woman's got a small little mustache,
and a large tear in her left panty hose.
It's snowing.
We walk along the edge of Washington Square Park. Our footprints leave a wake of concrete in the thin snow. A warm glow from a street lamp overhead shimmers in the air; through the chill I can feel its radiance. Passing flakes flutter all around.
