On mixed-up memories
Her: So remember when you were seeing “Fast Eddie” and you left me on the boardwalk by myself to go meet up with him somewhere?
Me: Yeah, but I don’t remember leaving you there by yourself.
Her: Oh yep, you did.
Me: I would never do that. There had to have been another person.
Her: No one.
Me: It was stupid. We met up by 12th street and he was drunk and pissed on the beach as I watched.
Her: I remember you telling me that after you found me again.
Me: Oh.
I honestly don’t think I left her alone. Did I?
On completely irrational cadences
But I know my luck too well
Yes, I know my luck too well
And I’ll probably never see you again
I’ll probably never see you again
I’ll probably never see you again
Oh …
If only you knew.
Play
rooftops
BBQ on rooftop. 7th between 1st and A. Made new friends. People squirted mustard onto the heads of passerbys. If you looked up, you could see stars. Surprising in New York.
