It’s Been A Long Time
It’s kinda like when you’re in a club, and a whole bunch of songs are playing. You don’t recognise a single one. The next song comes around and your ears perk up. You recognise something familiar. Before you know it, you’re dancing to Britney Spears.
“Hey! It’s been a long time mate. Let me buy you a beer,” he says, a beaming smile of friendship. Most people don’t even think about it. They don’t remember. He’s standing there in blissful ignorance.
I thought about it. I thought about the time him and his friends found a lump of dog shit in the schoolyard, and they all grabbed me and tried to force my face into it. I thought about the time when he threw banana peels at me. Threw my hat on the roof so I couldn’t get it. He would call me over saying he wanted to talk to me, just so he and his friends could surround me and push me from edge to edge in the circle like a pinball.
Cut back to his smiling face, and the present day.
If he doesn’t remember, I guess I don’t have to remember either.
“Hell, let me buy you a drink.”
