We tend to fuck as most couples do. They tend spin a narrative to make us think this isn't so, and certainly isn't how it should be. Perhaps it's part of that young folks procreation propaganda that they are the creative, new school of fucking. Folks always been fucking. There ain't nothing new. Maybe around here, who fucks who or how they fuck is a new topic in broader circles, but the actual act...no act is new. So we tend to fuck as most couples do and have done. The keep it spicy narrative is just that, a story. Do we fuck right? We still fucking? Right.
Like all couples who been fucking as long as we have, we have that nostalgia. We remember them early days. We didn't know what we were gunna do, we didn't know us as we yet. For we started in a typical place. Nothing special about our story, but it is still our story.
We arrived with our friends. Two eclectic groups who had not crossed paths before. I was there for Mike. You were there for Les. Months into the 90's we didn't understand we were standing at cultural crossroads with planetary implications. Well, maybe my friend Sharish and your friend Jemal know, but we certainly had no clue.
As FNM played the Crab Song and it transitioned into Pump Up The Jam/Chinese Arithmetic mashup we were jumping togetherness have been doing just that together ever since. But that moment that played out during The Crab Song...that's what did it.
I didn't have the language for it at the time, but I was comfortable in my own skin, but really didn't feel like one of the girls. I have no idea how this kismet worked, but we both now know you wouldn't change a thing about yourself, but you were not and have never been one of the bro's. Our brains identify in a heteronormativity binary world as one thing and the rest of us are easily categorized as the other, when we don't wish to change a thing. How we found each other thrashing around that night...again kismet.
The pit has just cooled for the song has a soulful and acoustic Indy punk beginning, that builds. It just took the two of us away. Transported us from our friends two another plain of existence.
Some fucker pushed me As The Worm Turned. Thankfully right into you. You somehow lifted my fat ass up and asked if I was all right. At least I thought that was what you said...so loud. Of course I yelled back, just as the evening hit it's quietest moment:
"THE GIRLS ARE ALL RIGHT!"
