today was spent roller skating through parks paved ornately with golden leaves. as the wind whipped our hair fecklessly, we blew gum and saluted a sinking sun and waited for the distant cry of an ice cream van. when it did not manifest, we listened instead to our favourite roller skating track du jour, 'i'm his girl'. in late march when brooklyn quintet friends released their debut single 'friends crush' we fawned all over it a little bit. now when we find ourselves with four wheels under an impeccably arched foot, we listen to this 'tropiccol' track 'i'm his girl'. and when we flail and fall and lie like fat beached whales, we just pump up the volume and embrace the damp soil, hugging our back...
