while listening to Modern Love, i closed my eyes and . . .
i am in my early teens. i am at an amusement park in southern california, not disneyland, i don't know which one. we are waiting for a ride, i am with my parents, and i don't know which children/siblings. over a loudspeaker i can hear Modern Love. it is dark. i started my period earlier in the day and had to buy new shorts from the souvenier shop, my mom was pissed about spending the money. but by night time i am alone in my mind. my parents are ghosts beside me as i listen to the song and wish i was anywhere else.
that's it. that's all i can remember. it's the only song that triggers any kind of memory. and it's a pretty meaningless memory, at that. but it is what it is.
