| a few minutes after I stumble my way through boy named sue
this beauty with a real tan and a mean body comes on in shadowboxing and playing air guitar and while I don’t know the first goddamn about playing a stringed instrument I am familiar with the fight game and this girl throws an educated jab so she sits down at the bar zips through a few levels of touch-screen mah jongg and when it’s time to put her name in for the hi-score she punches in “OKLAHOMA” I have a quick seizure and some time passes and I begin to remember who and where I am to the voice of this girl who is tearing her way through some country song I’ve never heard before her voice is better than anything any of us lames have heard before and the way she holds the microphone upside down makes it clear that she owns this song the same way she could own any of us consciousness swims fully back bringing wonder that I’ve even had a glimpse of this woman who belongs in a place much better than this the song ends to applause and pounding on the bar and she sits down with her boyfriend muscled-up black bandana and cool shades he sees me looking over smiles and throws me the goat (otherwise known as the pinkie and index finger rock and roll devil-horn salute) I stub out my seventeenth smoke since the sun went down and go for my jacket realizing that I too should be someplace much better than this |
