When the rain poured and people who were partying in the streets came inside the hotel, a beautiful stranger pulled me aside for a kiss.
But there was too much jostling and an almost-stampede and we got separated but as I was making my way to my room, there he was again. Smiling and beckoning, "Here, follow me, come."
And I giggled from excitement, from conspiracy, from so much love.
He opened a door to the hotel's ballroom and we danced the waltz the whole night. There in that ballroom -- gold gilded everything, ceilings as high as the sky, and mirrors all around for me to watch the beautiful stranger and myself glide, glide, glide.

Just One, "Bang!"
I chase The Enemy into The Twilight Hotel. I'm wearing my new pink shoes so I don't run very fast but I know that I should've because he steps into the elevator and winks lecherously at me as the elevator slowly closes.
This is when David steps in -- literally out of nowhere. He's wearing a gangster suit and a gangster hat and with one lovely move of his gangster hand he stops the elevator doors from closing.
Wow, I think, that's so sexy.
And David lights a cigarette, just as he always does before a kill, before he pulls his gun. Then I hear it. Just one, "bang!"

EAF
We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control.
I turn cold when they tell me they have revoked my college degree because I failed to show up for Algeb101 that one term I was supposed to and to prove it they show me an old copy of my EAF. I explain to them that I have in fact completed my Algeb101 and that my grade was, uhm, a 1.0 but still I passed and that counts as completed, right? The very idea! After all these years! They could've talked to me about this ten years ago when I was still a student!
They say I don't understand. I must take it now before it's too late. They give me my EAF and say, "Here, read it carefully this time."
So, since I have no choice, I try to find that stupid class but I keep misreading the time, the room, the time, the room, the time, the room. I give up and wonder how to break it to my parents that I haven't graduated from college after all!
