January 11, 2021:
On the floor, her older sister's apartment on the Mesa. Couples on the rug, my friend on the couch, pot in the air, "Sister Golden Hair" on the radio. For a while my girlfriend and I were in the bedroom with her shirt and bra off and my hands all over her. Booted, we slept in the living room with the others.
On the floor at her parents' house with her shirt up and our hands in each other's pants, until at just the wrong moment her parents' key rattled the lock. Quickly into the bathroom to straighten up. Where the song on the stereo was "Cherry Bomb", I swear to heaven.
