Ode to an Unforgotten Night in the City
We spent our paychecks on three dollar bottles of wine that tasted like burgundy Crayola. We reeled in her Tinder matches until one promising catch invited us to a concert. We spent three hours, drunk and delightful, trying on each other’s clothes and jewelry. Laughter abounded. We barely remembered to bring our subway cards. At the station, the faces glared at the brackish chuckling faeries as we snorted about sex and men. The thing about New York that everyone should get to try, is the abundance of reactions from faces that you’ll never see again. So we didn’t care. Nor did we care that the concert we were so cordially invited to started over an hour ago. Or that our train came and went on the platform above us as we stood waiting for a train that was never coming. We stumbled back up the stairs to correct our mistake. We took the next train. Still lost in all of our catching up, we rode it several stops past the platform that might have led to a forgettable evening with forgettable strangers.

The first inhabitants of Scotland
The first inhabitants of Scotland were probably living there before the last Ice Age. However, no trace has been found of any Scots who were quite that early although remains of humans from that time have been discovered elsewhere in the British Isles. It is probable that, as the ice receded, humans would have moved in from the south, in pursuit of the animals that had preceded them.

North, South, East, West
I think that everyone has a perfect first date in mind. As we grow up, the date might change along with the ending, but that one perfect first date still lingers in our subconscious. We use it to evaluate all the first dates that we go on. I like to think of it as a compass- directing the explorer on the right path to true love.
