she stumbles into view with his helping arm around her shoulders, performs a loose piroutte, laughing drunkenly, and walks into a telephone pole. she pauses momentarily, then grabs the pole and dances like a stripper.

laughing, they stumble over to where i sit on the curb. 

-hey

-hey

-what's up? how old are you? 

-24, you?    

-how old do you think i am?

-i dunno, that's always a dangerous question with a woman.

skaterboy interjects.

-she's 15, i'm 17.

-wow, you look older.

-that's what everyone says.

drunken teenage laughter....

 

and a fascinating snapshot of americana...

girl:

"i hate my mom"...."yeah, my family's really tight"..."when'd you lose your virginity?"..."i was 13, i was drunk, but it was videotaped"..."it was on youtube and on everybody's cell phones. everyone was like 'you're the girl from the video'"...

at home, in the familiar at least. amidst the relaxed and chaotic life of the university. nights in phili and lausanne and nyon...sleepovers, sprawled and sleepy figures in a hotel room, shared beds, clandestine wine bottles and all the simple joys of friendships, both close and casual...

married people don't bother me. its the prospect of broken relationships that make me sad. and that's what i feel like i have. a little trail of broken relationships. its normal i know. everyone has them. for some reason they just make me sad though. i don't think we were designed to have them. its like we screwed up somewhere and we can't fix some things, so we just let them drift away because its easier and oftentimes better for everyone.

 

and marriage cements them as permanently irreconcilable.

the characters and the scene: as usual, a kaleidoscope of fascinating personalities and emotions stripped bare by alcohol. cobblestone streets, smoke-stained ceilings, and darkly polished wood all blending together from corner to corner...street to street...city to city...geneva, paris, lugano, lausanne, nyon, richmond, DC, virginia beach, rochester, harrisburg, annapolis, baltimore...it's hard to keep them all straight...just another familiar scene awash in the comfortable buzz of the weekend crowd.

these nights, drifting just before sleep, i keep envisioning a fairy world full of magic and fog laid over the suburban streets of new jersey. it's wonderful.
