i can't remember the song but i'll think on it and maybe it'll come to me. i do have a clear picture and i remember this: (flashback) picture a roller rink, rainbow bright squares packed the carpeted floor littered with limp french fries, a hundred or more pre-teen-somethings milling, preening, flirting in front of the bright lockers, thick and smokey stale air (more than half those pre-teen-somethings were holding a marlboro and deperately trying to look cool), disco ball lights circling around those brave enough to skate on that gleaming floor... COUPLESSSS OWWWWWWN-LEHHHHHH!!... and we skated, and it was the first time i ever remember being close to a boy and almost choking 'cause my heart was beating too hard in my throat and my hands were so shaky and i sooo knew i was gonna get kissed in the hallway to the bathrooms. but i stuck a hand in his back pocket anyway and he stuck one in mine, and we went 'round and 'round and i just kept thinking in my head 'dont' fall...dont' fall...dont' fall'...(i didn't!) and we ragged on mrs. mahalsky (our seventh-grade english teacher) and he smelled like toothpaste.
ahhhh, nostalgia.
