20.

it was raining
i lived in a mildewy basement
apartment
on willamette street

the 1980s
were big again that year
somehow
so it was an 80s party

less than last year
a random assortment of people
ventured out
in rainy 80s garb

the next day
i got my first tattoo
imagine
at the parlour

the night before
i had dinner with my family
visited robina's old dog and house and i cried and i cried and it threw everything off
