We ate toasted marshmallow ice cream and talked about boys,

I unexpectedly ran into one of my favorite spinster ladyfriends, who I didn’t even know was in town,

We shook our fists at the Dance Cave, apparently closed on Thursdays,

We said goodbye, filled with ounces and ounces of beer and nachos,

We almost didn’t find each other, because Dominoes is also a pizza chain, so “let’s meet at the dominoes” is easily misinterpreted to hilarious effect,

I met an old, dear friend, and we held hands in the dark, and he told me I was lovely and I wished I didn’t live so far, far away.

(But I promise I’ll be back soon, because I love all of you!)
