Photo Story: Pierced
She wore army men as earrings, stretched t-shirts into skirts, and blew through a can of Aqua Net every two weeks, maintaining a rooster comb hairdo of her own design. She hummed Blister in the Sun while unzipping my fly. God, I loved her, despite the braces on her teeth that delicately cut me no matter how gently she tried.
She comes to mind after another fight with my wife crying upstairs about how I don’t look at her the same anymore. I stick a hand down my pants and turn up the volume. Tora! Tora! Tora! is on TV.
