F-R-I-E-N-D-S

Noel Haughey 1962 (New Rochelle, NY)

April 23 


F-R-I-E-N-D-S
rushed my fifth shower
for my fifth date on the mothership
waiting on Saks Fifth Ave
running down the fifth floor after the interview
fell smashed my mickey mouse watch
fifth grade bingo winnings
making a stop at the fifth element Cafe
picking up snacks
break dancing on a break on a date
it's master mixers and hound dogs
all alone, come along and rock and roll
friends ..
