Brief Synopsis of the 90s
Straight As
Mathlete
3 years of French
Wanted to learn to windsurf
Dylan on 90210
Teen Spirit on my
Newly hairy armpits
Hated showers after
Gym class
Because I was the first
To have breasts and
Everyone wanted to see
Andrew chased us
Up the coast
Brian died
Moved back to KY
Started over
My friends were all punks
Complete with leather
And foot high mohawks
They introduced me to
X and The Cramps
Saw The Smithereens
At Stakes Day at Red Mile
Loved graphic arts
Found Guns N’ Roses
On my own
Moved the next county over
Everyone else came
With Toyota
Six years earlier
saw Christian bands
In church basements
Metallica at Rupp
L7 and Wool at Bogart’s
Always wanted to go
To The Wrocklage
Or Lynaugh’s
Tornado on senior night
Dyed my hair
Cardinal red
For graduation

A whirlwind!
Johnny Cash once dreamed that Queen Elizabeth spoke to him and said, “You’re a thorn tree in a whirlwind.” Also, the 90s covered many transitions in my life. I could and should write volumes on that decade.
