Valemtimes From Space

Clip My Wings So I Won't Fly Away,

When I was sixteen Rick Barnocky drove a rattly car in a sweater and tie to my house. In the front seat was Cris holding the single rose he'd finger while ringing my door bell and place in my hand as we nervously were escorted to Chili's. At Chili's I order a ceaser salad and he a burger? we abandon for cigarettes by the dumpster to listen to our mix tape on a walkman and hunch over on a curb like question marks of ourselves. Today I buy extra strength Clearasil face wipes, space out into the pit of my belly while my cousins shop their child support at Urban Outfitters and I boringly thumb my Blackberry until my 6:30 aa mtg uninterested in the venue, finally bored of the text message lineage. Took long enough. Its true what t-shirts say, Virginia is for lovers. Today, all over the state girls broke in heels. Wobbling through movie theaters and restaurants whose entrees they couldn't pronounce. Through ice cream shops and hallways walled by mirrors and hobbled like centaurs to bathrooms reapplying lipstick. The whole world knows what love is. In a movie I hear: "Some people don't believe that you love them unless you show them in front of other people." I smile, knowing this is true for so many other things. Today my Valentine is HairheartsFlip- you are loved and not forgotten. Don't worry, this year we will show the world. Right babe?
