A la Joe Brainard
I remember high school in Illinois in the mid 80s.
I remember throwing a dead woodchuck into a vacant locker.
I remember, just before a wreck: "We're gonna biff it."
I remember the kid who showed up with a rifle.
I remember smoking pot out of Coke cans. And LSD.
I remember going to see Big Black on prom night.
I was proud of that. Now I rarely mention it.
I remember the journalism teacher who moonlighted as an exterminator.
I remember the kid who stabbed another kid to death.
It was so long ago that it's not even on Google.
