Girl in the
record store,
in the tight
vinyl pants
and the pink
Star Wars
t-shirt

I think I
love you

Girl in the
record store,
my love for you
is like an Andy Gibb
song...

one of his
earlier hits,
not one of the
later hits he made
after becoming
a fat cocaine addict

Girl in the
record store,
let me feed you
lowfat fishsticks
and serenade you
with the more
suggestive lyrics
from the
best of
Barry Manilow
or maybe some
Neil
Diamond

Girl in the
record store,
we could
consummate
our love against
the used CD
rack...

...somewhere
between
Abba's Greatest Hits,
Vol. I
and
Tori Amos'
unreleased
European singles
collection

Girl in the
record store,
we could spend
hours
talking about
Jane Wiedlin's
solo career
or the misunderstood
genius of
Gordon Lightfoot

Girl in the
record store,
we could connect our
facial piercings and
live out our lives
forever merged at the
eyebrow and septum

Girl in the
record store,
in the tight
vinyl pants
and the pink
Star Wars
t-shirt

I think I
love you
